Nokia x Burton: Push Snowboarding

ESPN have posted an article about a project Nokia and Burton are working together on. It is a phone controlled kit for snowboarding that measures the “snowboard’s orientation, downward pressure exerted by the rider, heart rate and Galvanic skin response.” The five different sensors will be able to give greater data to riders as well as possibly providing some interesting info for live TV such as stress levels during runs. This is well worth a read – check the full article here.
