While skiing in Vals, Italy, I encountered a public ski racecourse that allowed anyone with a lift pass to ski around gates and record their performance. Watching my runs online inspired me: What if AI could analyze this data to give real-time coaching? This idea became OpenSkiAI—a project to make skiing accessible to everyone, regardless of income or background.
Ski racing is often seen as an elite sport, limited by high costs and lack of access. OpenSkiAI uses AI and LiDAR technology to provide affordable, real-time feedback for skiers worldwide, making ski racing more inclusive.
- Real-Time AI Coaching: Analyze posture, turns, and performance.
- Privacy-Friendly: Uses skeletal tracking, not video recordings.
- Open Source: Free for anyone to use, adapt, and share.
By documenting and licensing this concept under Creative Commons, we ensure it remains accessible, preventing corporatization and encouraging collaboration.
