Booth@ MUV-Festival Bern 2025
How can I show climbers that they need to use their leg muscles more than their arm muscles to make the next move? Experts can describe this, but real-time visualisation of the forces actually exerted by each hand and foot on the holds could potentially help to climb more efficiently.
In February 2025, two ETH bachelor's students, Timon Gilden and Lukas Rahn, began developing a measurement setup that records the interaction forces between hands and feet on a tiltable, mobile wall. The functional prototype was presented for the first time at the MUV-Festival.
The visitors hung on our wall and Newton's first law was visualized for them. Or they took part in our jumping competition, which was supported by the O'Bloc team: They mobilized all their strength and we calculated the jump height of their centre of mass.
