Meet the new Skitag IMU device
Inspired on our last summer surf experience.
Skake it up to wake it up!
The new Skitag IMU device has no button on it.
While trying new things in our last summer camp we found out that the Skitag IMU device could use the acceleration to turn it on. Now we have a rounded water proof design with no buttons on it.

The Skitag Trainer is aimed to record your Skitag, Surftag or Biketag data. Then, once you send your data to us you'll get back a customised algorithm. We made it this way to reduce your App memory usage.

SKI EXPERIENCE
Learn about your ski or snowboard skills while you are enjoying your favourite sport. Share and compare your improvements with your friends. Be part of the Skitag collective intelligence community (skitagCI). Interact with your colleagues to come up with better (smarter) ski or snowboard reference patterns. Cluster your ski stats under different snow or downhill conditions.
Skitag Experience
Step 1. Attach an IMU device to your ski or snowboard;
Step 2. Pair your IMU device to your mobile App via Bluetooth (BLE);
Step 3. Allow Skitag to acces your location (GPS).
Step 4. Record your movements.
Step 5. Stop skiing and stop recording. That’s it.
The Skitag App will automatically cluster each of your downhills and tell you about your ski style.

Surftag Experience
So far the Surftag algorithms detects surfed waves, attempts to catch a wave, positioning, line up and paddling. As long as we collect enough data from Skitag IMU devices fixed to a surf board we'll be able to detect most common surf, kitesurf or windsurf movements in a board.
Step 1. Attach an IMU device to your surf, kite or windsurf board;
Step 2. Pair your IMU device to your Apple Watch via Bluetooth (BLE);
Step 3. Allow Surftag to acces your location (GPS).
Step 4. Record your movements.
Step 5. Stop surfing and stop recording. That’s it.
The Surftag App will detect your surfing stats and movements.

Skitag CI
The skitag collective intelligence community is an initiative to seize the potential of individuals mutually interacting in a community to come up with smarter decisions. In this context individuals learns patterns from what they think is a good reference and imitate their behaviour to improve their outcome. They get smarter. They become better skiers!
Moreover, the ski or snowboard community will have access to a huge database of reference patterns that can be exploited by professionals and trainers. For a better understanding of what does collective intelligence means please visit the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence and take a look at their ‘Handbook of Collective Intelligence’ edited by Thomas W. Malone and Michael S. Bernstein.
At the moment this initiative is a prospect that will be fulfilled as soon as the community of Skitag users grows.
About Skitag
Created by Miguel-Santos Luparelli-MathieuSkitag has deep learning algorithms inside. It learns patterns describing your ski or snowboard movements. Then, it takes advantage of the collective intelligence of skitag users to learn useful information about efficiency, balance and the path and shape of Skitag users.
To feel the skitag experience you need a smartphone with GPS and an IMU (movement sensor; i.e. accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer) device connected by Bluetooth to your smartphone. The GPS will show your speed, distance and elevation, while the IMU device will show your ski style, ski balance, and carving path and shape.
