There is no end to the desire for new equipment. That's why it is surprising that wearable technology is not spreading in the world of winter sports. Information such as speed, altitude, and distance when gliding on a slope can be obtained from various applications and smartwatches, but there is nothing that seems to be particularly convenient or innovative. [Video] CARV Digital Ski COACH, a surprising wearable device that can hone your skills like a game, has a new idea in the UK startup CARV, which develops ski boots insoles and apps equipped with many sensors. The company analyzes the skills of skiers with 72 pressure sensors and motion sensors on the left and right, providing services that provide real -time coaching. When you wear a CARV device and glide on the slopes, 13 indicators are measured in real time, mainly in balance, edge, rotation, and pressure, and the skill score called "SKI: IQ" is calculated. 。 And hints, advice, and training methods that can be used to improve skills are conveyed in a form that is optimized to users. The system was developed with the cooperation of Interski in the UK, which operates skiing classes, as well as the US Professional Key Instructor Federation (PSIA) and the Canadian Ski Instructor Federation (CSIA). CARV explains that analyzing millions of turns millions of turns to provide the best advice to users will provide training that tested and provided effects that would be expected by human instructors. There is. In fact, can you use this device to raise your skiing skills during the weekend?

Coaching while sliding

To attach the CARV insole, it is necessary to first take out the insole of the ski boots and fix the cable with the bundled adhesive tape. Although it is not an elegant and easy -to -understand method, the app has a video that explains the procedure to help users. If you purchase at a actual store, we recommend that you have a professional install it. Attach the insole and stop the battery pack with a clip, then the calibration work is next. Follow the instructions displayed on the application screen, synchronize the insole and the app with Bluetooth connection. An insole with a thickness of 3mm and a battery pack that is inserted outside the boots will not be in good shape once it is attached. I didn't feel like I was wearing it. Even if you attach it all, it will only increase 296 g per pair of boots. Add the necessary information to the app and attach the headphones to slip. By using earphones (this time "AirPods Pro"), you can receive skiing coaching in real time during the run. While you are on the lift, you can receive detailed guidance without any annoying surroundings. It's an advice that I actually tried, but it is better to use a small earphone. If you wear a helmet from above, you may feel uncomfortable with large earphones. The best choice is to use a helmet with a built -in Bluetooth speaker.
