Step 1: Download the Skitag App from the App Store. No user nor password needed.
Step 2: Go to your favorite Ski Resort. Get ready to start enjoying an augmented ski experience. Open the Skitag App. Press the start button. A stopwatch will start to count your ski session timing. It means the device is now recording. Wear your mobile in a place that is comfortable and stable (e.g. in your trousers pocket). Using mobile protection cases might keep the device more stable and protected in case of crash.
Step 3: Record your first FOUR downhills. It is the minimum quantity of information that the Skitag AI System needs to build your customized AI engine.
Step 4: Go to the DATASETS screen. Choose one of the available datasets listed. Tap the screen to change between Pitch, Roll and Yaw. Pick the one that better shows your carving path. Usually, the Yaw is the one that better represents your carving path. Label your carving by pressing the screen and hold to mark the area you would like to use to teach your AI system. It is important to select data of quality; i.e. make sure it is representative of what you want to teach your AI to identify and it looks like a wave signal. If there is an area that is too noisy (i.e. interference/irregular wave)? Do not select that area or discard the dataset in case it has too much noise. Finally, press the upload button located in the center of the screen (Square And Arrow Up) to use this data. The screen will be automatically closed. That input data will disappear from the list of available datasets. Repeat this process until you have at least four or more labeled datasets.
Step 5: Go back to the Home Screen. Press into the CARBIO accuracy indicator to open the Skitag AI System builder. If you have labeled at least 4 DOWNHILLS there is a button (plus) in the bottom right corner. Press the plus button to build your own first AI engine. Remember that you need at least four labeled downhills to complete this task. Wait a few seconds. At completion, you’ll see the baseline accuracy of your CARBIO.
Step 6: On average you’ll see that your CARBIO’s accuracy is close to 65% or 80%. If you are lucky, or your carving data is perfect, you could see something close to 90%.
Step 7: Record another downhill. Repeat the labeling process of Step 4, and then repeat the training process of Step 5. This time it is an update of your existing AI engine. Therefore, it should take less time to complete this task.
Step 8: Repeat Step 7 until you feel comfortable with your CARBIO’s accuracy value. Usually you should need to repeat this step three to four times before getting a good enough accuracy value (i.e. above 90%).
Step 9: Record your Ski Sessions. Remember to wear your iPhone always in the same place so your AI can accurately predict your downhill movements, and remember to make sure the stopwatch is running so the Skitag App is reading and processing your CARBIO.
Step 10: It is time to enjoy your
Skitag Augmented Ski Experience. Take a look at your ski metrics while you are enjoying a break, while you are having your favorite drink together with your friends, or while you are going uphill in the chairlift. Just Keep calm and Skitag everywhere!
