## User Challenges

Skiers struggle with slope navigation, tracking, and safety since current apps are fragmented and not built for hands-free use. Without integration, switching between tools mid-ski interrupts focus, confidence, and overall ride safety.

## Key Pain points

### Fragmented Tools

Users constantly switch between maps, trackers, and weather apps, breaking flow and reducing overall skiing safety.

### No Real-Time Guidance

Without live overlays in goggles, skiers miss turns, lose time, and struggle to navigate slopes effectively mid-ride.

### Limited Context

Difficulty ratings, lift details, and weather updates are not instantly visible, leaving skiers without key slope insights.

## Valuable Insights

Interviews with skiers showed the importance of real-time overlays and safety alerts. Data analysis revealed friction in switching apps for navigation, tracking, and weather updates.

## Major Findings

### 64% Of users want AR overlays

Visual path guidance in goggles reduced slope confusion, boosted confidence, and improved downhill decision-making.

### 72% Switch apps mid-ski

Frequent app switching interrupted flow and safety, highlighting demand for an all-in-one solution.

## Our Solutions

We built a connected mobile app that syncs with AR goggles, showing navigation lines, slope maps, weather, and stats. The Sirius - Smart AR Ski Goggles Mobile App example introduces live overlays, simple route setup, and quick access UI.

## Our Approach

### AR Route Projection

Highlighted ski slope paths directly in goggles, giving riders real-time navigation with clear visual guidance.

### Contextual Stats

Displayed live speed, temperature, and battery data, so skiers could track performance without breaking focus.

### Seamless Setup

Enabled fast pairing with goggles, letting users start routes quickly and avoid delays before hitting the slopes.
