A new app designed by a pair of computer scientists aims to revolutionize the way figure skating is judged. The app, called OOFSkate and designed by Jerry Lu and Jacob Blindenbach, uses AI to analyze skaters' jumps and provide feedback on height, rotation speed, airtime and landing quality. This technology aims to automate the technical judging of figure skating while leaving the artistic side to humans. Lu and Blindenbach, who met at the University of Virginia, developed the app to help athletes train better. U.S. Figure Skating supports the project.
