The world of snowboarding and technology are for sure finding each other in more and more areas. Where the live scoring system of the TTR already makes heavy use of new real-time technologies, the Nokia Push project will enable to log your snowboarding sessions on your Burton snowboard pretty soon.
In 2009 Nokia already attached a chipboard on a skateboard below the truck, which registers all the rotations and speeds and with that logs all the tricks you do. Now Nokia is extending this to snowboarding. With everybody wanting to share everything what they’re are doing on facebook and twitter these days, it makes sense to add status update features to this device as well, so that you can tweet your triple cork to everybody.
Watch the video below for some more information about the project.
