Sk8SoniX app for iPhone and iPad

Sk8SoniX by Brainventions, Inc. is a one-of-a-kind Musical Instrument for creating music while figure skating. It consists of a pair of Sensor devices attached by Velcro to the bottom of figure skates. The sensors are connected by Bluetooth to the Sk8SoniX IOS app, which users can download from the App Store and run on their iPhone. The sensor assemblies can be purchased directly from the Sk8SoniX website or on Amazon.

In the simplest of its application modes the Sk8SoniX app maps the 8 dynamic skating edges (Let/Right, Forward, Backward, Inside/Outside - LFO, RFI, LBI, RBO, LBO, RBI, LFI, RFO) to the 8 musical notes in the Major Musical Scale (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La Ti, Do). The user can chose from a variety of SoundFonts (e.g. piano, violin, guitar, piccolo, solfege, etc.) to listen to her/his edges while skating. This provides unique auditory feedback, which can significantly improve the skaters skating skills.

Another usage mode provides and set of built-in detectors for moves-in-the-field (MIF), jumps, spins, etc.

Sk8SoniX has built-in audio and video recording/playback as well as skating data storage and analytics.

Sk8Sonix is ideal for both beginner skaters to improve their skating skills and for advanced and top-level skaters who want to explore new creative ways for personal expression in shows and competitive programs.

The app can also be used as a silent and objective skating judge of the quality, sequencing and timing of the skating moves performed by a skater.
