Iceberg & Oren
Hey, I just read about a new haptic suit that simulates ice friction in VR—imagine using it to fine‑tune blade angles before you even hit the rink.
Sounds interesting, but if the suit can only mimic a flat surface it won’t capture the subtle edge wear that actually makes the difference. Still, a few microns of data could help fine‑tune a blade angle before stepping onto the ice.
Yeah, the suit’s sensor grid is pretty dense, but I doubt it can resolve the microscopic scratches that actually dictate spin and glide. Still, a few microns of angular data might let you tweak the blade before the first glide—if you’re willing to trust a piece of tech to replace a seasoned blade‑saver’s feel.
Sure, but I’ll still double‑check the real ice. Trust the data, but rely on feel. Just keep the edge clean, that’s the true test.
Sounds like a plan—just don’t let the suit convince you you’ve mastered the edge, or you’ll end up skating on a glassy sheet of optimism. Keep the grind sharp.
