Inspiration
As a ski enthusiast, I’ve often found myself frustrated by the challenges of planning my ski trips. Choosing the right resort that matches my skill level, interests, the right weather condition and budget was always a struggle. When I hit the slopes, the fear of getting lost or missing out on the best trails lingered in the back of my mind. I knew there had to be a better way than relying on the current paper trail maps. That’s when I decided to create NEU. I wanted an app that would make the process of planning and navigating ski resorts not only easier but also more enjoyable.
By leveraging cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) technology, I set out to design an app that could provide a fully immersive experience—helping skiers like me explore the best resorts and stay on track. I’m excited to share it with other skiing enthusiasts. I had a lot of fun creating every single 3D map for my app. From gathering the right geographic data to meticulously crafting each map in Blender, and finally exporting them for Apple’s ARKit, the process was both challenging and rewarding. The result is something truly unique—32 AR maps of Andorra, Spain and Portugal ski resorts, available exclusively in the NEU Ski Slopes app.
What’s next for NEU
Looking ahead, I plan to expand NEU Ski Slopes to include more ski resorts beyond the Andorra, Spain and Portugal, covering other popular ski destinations in Europe and North America. I’m also exploring the possibility of integrating GPS tracking, personal statistics, and social features, allowing users to share their experiences on social media, connect with friends, and compete on leaderboards. Additionally, I aim to enhance the AR experience with more interactive elements and real-time analytics, providing users with even more insights into their skiing adventures.
