RFID Skier Training

Fraunhofer researchers collaborate with industry to apply RFID technology to the training of skiing athletes, where thousandths of a second in improvements matter. The technology can be used to monitor performance and identify areas for improvement. ...

... "The underlying technology is radio frequency identification or RFID. A computer calculates the position of the skis every millisecond and displays their exact path on a monitor. A coach recognizes whether both skis were parallel, explains Richter, whether the skier has drifted from her path in a curve and whether she is able to carve properly. " ...
