ONE PER CENT

摘要

Can a computer help you climb a rock face? Perttu Haemaelaeinen of Aalto University in Finland thinks so. He and Raine Kajastila have combined a projector and a Kinect depth camera to track rock climbers on a training wall, and provide feedback and suggestions in real-time. The system projects the route as a glowing line and tracks climbers as they follow it, suggesting moves as they go. There is also a game feature, where climbers must avoid a huge, projected chainsaw. The pair hope to install the system in a gym later this year.
