Yeti is a set of adapted off-piste ski poles designed to reduce the risk of the skier becoming disoriented or lost in unmarked, mountainous terrain. The technology incorporated provides the skier with vital navigational information, hazard warnings and a Personal Location Beacon (PLB).







Yeti uses augmented reality technology to display uploaded GPX map files as virtual off-piste routes on the screen. This provides the skier with easy-to-follow markings in order to navigate safely down the mountain. In poor visibility Yeti can switch from the live camera view to display a virtual 3D map, giving the skier a sense of their surroundings. Different routes can be chosen by scanning the immediate environment. Navigational information is provided for each route displayed.
