- The demo labels its four-turn run simulated; on-snow testing is planned before a Kickstarter.
Field notes
A sample interface follows a regular-stance rider through four carved turns, with a dot and slider showing phase-specific readings; the example is explicitly simulated. The proposed setup uses one pod and a thin pressure plate per binding, with no body-worn or boot-mounted equipment. Founder Thomas Miller says he is designing the circuit boards, firmware, and app; the page places on-snow testing before a Kickstarter.
