According to a story on AppleInsider.com, Apple has patented a new technology that will allow snowboarders to track their airtime and pretty much everything else they could want to know riding including:
. . . loft time; a speed of the vehicle; a peak loft time; an average loft time; a total loft time; a dead time; a real activity time; an average speed; . . . successive records of loft information; successive records of speed information; a distance traveled by the vehicle; a height achieved by the vehicle off of the surface; and an indication of a number of a successive record relative to all successive records.
It’s going to be like a dashboard for your snowboard. Guess there will be no more guessing who got the most air. It will be right there on your iPhone and we’ll finally have the charts and the graphs to prove that we suck. How nice will that be?
