Trace - Tracker for Extremes

What is Trace?

Every day on Kickstarter appear projects, gadgets that can change the world. Some of them successfully overcome the set bar, and some never gain the cherished tens of thousands of dollars to run. Trace is one of those who are gaining momentum, but it is already clear that they will definitely exceed the plan.

Probably every one of you is familiar with that feeling when you land some cool trick or conquer a tall wave on the surf, but there are no “witnesses”. You tell your friends about it - they seem to believe it, but still there will be one who considers his trick cooler and the wave higher. So, Trace is a device that attaches to your inventory and starts counting all the data on the race: jump height, amplitude, number of turns and much more, and allows you to instantly send all the information from your cloud to your friends to brag. You can even arrange competitions in real time.

This small tracker uses inertial sensors and GPS technology, and is able to recognize absolutely any trick, be it a 6-meter jump from a coup with a flip or a triple kickflip on a skateboard through 10 steps.
Some technical specifications:

• Bluetooth 4.0
• 9-axis sensors
• own processor
• diameter - 5 cm, height - 2.2 cm
• battery for 7 hours
• Waterproof, shock resistant
• glued to any hard surface
• transmits GPX Data

The creators have tried not to offend any of the extreme sports, so the device works on skateboards, snowboards, skis, and surf. In general, what attach, then it will be considered. After arrival, the device generates “#SESSIONSHEET” - a detailed report on the trip. It can be sent to friends, but only to those who already have a similar application. In the future, they will also integrate with social networks.



Here are only three tracking applications - “replay Surf”, “Replay Snow”, “Replay Skate” , but they promise to increase their number. All applications are on iOS and Android. So, for example, looks like an application for surfers:



It should be noted that AlpineReplay is the largest competitive platform for skiers and snowboarders numbering 2.5 million jumps in 43 countries of the world. The Trace project started just a week ago, but they have already raised more than $ 56,000 out of the required $ 150,000. Not the fact that it will reach $ 1 million, but up to 500.000 bucks should. There are still 37 full days ahead. Finally, watch the video how it all works (without translation):
