With around 140,000 injuries every year, skiing is a dangerous but rarely fatal sport. On the slopes, skiers are faced with many safety imperatives: they can easily find themselves disoriented when weather conditions get tough.
During her studies within the International Class, Emmy Decoursière designed an application to help inexperienced skiers find their way on the slopes. Groups of skiers often have widely varying levels of skill. So, how can people have a great time skiing together while respecting each person’s ability? The application works in 4 steps: the user indicates his/her level and is directed towards the appropriate chairlift. The routes and names of the slopes are displayed, for a tailor-made skiing experience!
This project is part of Design portfolio 2020, a selection of 36 projects from this year which bear witness to the talent, creativity and know-how developed by the students during their undergraduate studies.
