Feel what it is like to be a champion skier, go upto 70km/h. View the forces under your feet, green for accelerating, red for breaking. Part of my PhD thesis at Massey University (www.massey.ac.nz) into the biomechanics of alpine ski racing, view the outputs of our system Fusion Motion Capture that combines IMUs and GPS. Created by Matthew Brodie with help from Ben Griffen, Rhys Thorp, Alan Walmsley, Wyatt Page and Mt Ruapehu Alpine Lifts in New Zealand.
