OK GOOGLE GLASS... 
  • Google Glass could have a massive effect on individual training

    • trainers can program Google Glass in a way that the skier sees the perfect slope right in front of his eyes;

    • exact time and speed can be determined;

    • eyesight control could be introduced to identify the main distractions on the track;

    • color change could be introduced to warn about very dangerous passages in-time

    • trainers can talk to the sportsmen during the competition and give live updates

 

 

Nested Dolls:

  • Google Glass as part of the skiing goggles
  • Can implement optical glasses as well
  • Option of adaptable goggle glasses to the light situation

 

 

 

Universality:

  • Water resistance
  • Protection and information and facilitation
  • Live updates – which can be distracting
PROBLEMS with Google GLASS and Sports?

 

 

  1. Individual competition
  2. Team competition

 

  • distraction
  • external influence
  • manipulation
  • technological help
  • verification of skills

I WISH WINTER OLYMPICS GAMES

  • Tourists or visitors wearing Google Glass would be in the position to follow the race track from the viewpoint of the actual skier, without having to go down the slope

 

  • Google Glass could forward information on individual requests, regarding a particular competitor or race or track or site

 

  • The identification process during the Winter Olympics could be facilitated

 

  • Security screenings could be easier

 

  • Ticket and other on-site consumption is easier (no cash required)
