The BallCam will give footfall fans a new angle on the game by capturing smooth video from a football as it spins through the air. The camera will be inserted into a hole cut in the side of the ball. The system will be unique as the algorithm will process the video from a ball spinning at up to 600 rpm. The algorithm will be designed to monitor for and discard video frames that show only the sky. When the remaining frames are stitched together, the result will be a relatively...

A waist-worn cable system will help activate the upper body. The device will be based upon the waist packs used by many runners and walkers. A pair of spring-activated cables will be built into the belt of the pack, which will then be grasped by the wearer and will give added resistance to help exercise the arms. The device will be compact and can be used inside and on treadmills. It can also be used during workouts that don't necessarily involve walking, and 12 exercises...

A new airbag system for skiers will protect the wearer from falls on hard snow at high speeds. The airbag system will feature an array of accelerometers and sensors will detect when the skier is falling and trigger the inflation mechanism. A CO2 canister inflated the bags within 100 milliseconds, protecting the skier's chest, neck and back. The system could also be made customizable, allowing the user to choose additional airbags, such as ones for the waist or hips.

A new hydration will be designed with skiers in mind--fitting under the jacket and more closely to the body. Ordinary hydration packs are convenient, but they can be problematic while skiing. The water tends to freeze in the cold, and the bulky pack is a bit uncomfortable while riding the chair lift. The new hydration pack will help eliminate these problems with its streamlined design meant to be worn under a jacket. Because it is closer to the body and out of the direct cold, the...

The new MP3 player will feature an all-in-one streamlined design, allowing more freedom of movement during water-based workouts and activities. The waterproof digital music device will be designed with the player housed within the earbuds, which will be held in place by a tension band around the back of the head. Volume and song playback will be accessed by the controls on the bottom of the earpieces, and the long-life battery time of 8 hours combined with the 4GB of music storage...

One day, snowboarders may be able to charge down the slopes while charging their batteries with a solar panel equipped snowboard. The snowboard will be equipped with a pair of solar panels fitted to the board's shape and connected to a converter in the center of the board. The board's two rechargeable batteries will be able to power smartphones and music devices, taking advantage of the bright sun on snowy mountain slopes.

The idea is to create a dive transceiver that will allow scuba divers to communicate underwater without the need for expensive, specialized masks. The pocket-sized transceiver will use bone conduction technologies to pick up the diver's words and ultrasound to transmit those words to transceivers worn by the other divers. The sound waves will be played back as speech via the unit's bone conduction speakers and the "built-in digital speech conversion technology" will help to correct...

Take your cycling workout to new levels with the underwater exercise cycle. The bike is a combination jetted tub and exercise bike, with the surrounding water providing a low impact environment while keeping the rider cool and massaged by the 12 water jets. The bike functions are controlled by a touchscreen, and the tub is designed to be drained after use to maintain a clean environment. 30 minutes on this bike is equivalent to 2 hours on a conventional bike, with the user...

The idea is to combine fishing pole and walking stick to make it a bit easier to access remote fishing spots. The device will feature an aluminum shaft that will store the fishing rod segments and serve as the hiking pole, with the handle for the fishing pole also functioning as the handle for the walking stick. The segments will be held in place by flick locks, and the device will be available in both fly rod and spinning rod varieties.

The idea is to create a life vest which will be an inflatable flotation device incorporated into a stylish garment. Currently life vest products are very bulky and uncomfortable. This new life vest will be very comfortable to wear and very stylish. A surfer or diver will be able to simply pull the trigger and the inflated bladder will float them to the surface. Currently there are no such devices in the market that can save the life of a drowning surfer or a scuba diver.
