Nicholas Fieldhouse and Sean Pursel, currently pursuing their Master of Science, Engineering Science degrees, along with Andrew Serfass traveled to Austin Texas on Thursday, November 1, 2007 to attend and participate at the Global Idea to Product Competition.
Their “idea/product” is the Skier Advancement System (SAS) which has the ability to provide accurate performance data that can be analyzed to improve ski technique and enhance the overall sport experience. Through BluetoothTM technology to an audible readout on the skier, it records performance data about ski tilt, inclination, vibration, and position on the mountain. With this new way to manipulate the technology, it’ll make the most amateur skier a veteran on the slopes.
The team presented their idea at the competition, though they didn't win a prize, it was an excellent learning experience and they were able to build some great contacts.
