Street surfing actually originated a little later and has gone from a few home brewers mounting some roller skate wheels onto the underside of a plywood board to an international sport which challenges both the creative ingenuity and physical capabilities of its participants. The design and structure of board and components have improved greatly over the years, but there appears to have been little headway in feeding back vital performance data to riders. Designer and manufacturer of military grade tracking technologies Edgetrak and performance board producer wefunk have now joined forces to fill the void. The newly-formed Stealth Division has just put the finishing touches to a new operational prototype longboard called the Mach1, the first deck in the world to feature built-in telemetrics. <a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/stealth-division-mach1-telemetrics-skateboard/20990/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/o1m-one-moment-biodegradable-shoes/20900/">O1M One Moment natural, biodegradable shoes are like condoms for your feet </a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/author/chris-weiss/">Chris Weiss</a></p> <p><em>13:44 December 22, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104090419im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/o1m-one-moment-biodegradable-shoes/20900/#comments">6 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104090419im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/o1m-one-moment-biodegradable-shoes/20900/pictures">10 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/o1m-one-moment-biodegradable-shoes/20900/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104090419im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/o1monemomentshoes.jpeg" title="O1M shoes are a light, biodegradable and inexpensive choice for barefoot enthusiasts" alt="O1M shoes are a light, biodegradable and inexpensive choice for barefoot enthusiasts"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Minimalist, "barefoot" shoes have been one of the biggest stories of the footwear industry for several years.

While this can be merely frustrating for fans, it can have larger ramifications for referees or coaches, whose jobs depend on being able to know which players are doing what, at what time. Scientists from Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have devised what could be a solution to that problem – it’s a system that continuously tracks each player, superimposing their number and jersey color over top of their image, on a computer screen. <a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/system-tracks-identifies-athletes/20428/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/motorola-motoactv/20336/">MOTOACTV - Motorola's musical take on wearable fitness trackers</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/author/andrea-powell/">Andrea Powell</a></p> <p><em>23:24 October 31, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104090419im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/motorola-motoactv/20336/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104090419im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/motorola-motoactv/20336/picture/146249/">8 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120104090419/http://www.gizmag.com/motorola-motoactv/20336/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104090419im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/motorola-motoactv-6.jpg" title="Motorola MOTOACTV - supports Bluetooth脗庐 4.0 and ANT wireless connectivity" alt="Motorola MOTOACTV - supports Bluetooth脗庐 4.0 and ANT wireless connectivity"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Motorola Mobility has launched MOTOACTV, the company's first music and fitness device.
