PiQ puts AI to work in the 'world's first' smart ski

Baseball bats and tennis rackets aren't the only pieces of sports equipment that are getting smarter these days. Ski maker Rossignol and consumer electronics company PIQ announced on Monday that they have created the world's first "connected" ski. The computer is running PIQ's GAIA AI system, which autonomously collects and analyzes a swath of performance metrics. The system tracks everything from speed and turn angle to G-forces and lateral momentum. This presumably gives the skier immediate, actionable feedback which they can use to improve their technique.
