English	The Touring Torch is an augmented ski pole. It was created to save lives in a bright environment with at times bad visibility. It works in combination with an app, that compares the route data to avalanche risk maps of the region. A bright LED display, embedded in the pole grip, shows data without being disruptive. Warnings alert you if you stray off route or enter avalanche-prone areas. A simple gesture system lets you assess data like danger predictions, current elevation, the time, and safer alternative routes. Compact and user-friendly, it enhances your skiing adventure without disrupting the silence of nature.
Native	Touring Torch ist ein smarter Skistock. Er funktioniert in Kombination mit einer App, die die Routendaten mit den Lawinengefahrenkarten der Region vergleicht. Ein helles LED-Display, das in den Stockgriff eingelassen ist, zeigt die Daten an. Es ist auf die grelle und teils neblige Sicht auf Gletschern optimiert. Es warnt den Nutzer, wenn er von der Route abweicht oder in lawinengefährdete Gebiete eindringt. Ein einfaches Gestensystem ermöglicht es, Daten wie Gefahrenvorhersagen, die Höhe, die Uhrzeit und Alternativrouten zu evaluieren. Das kompakte und benutzerfreundliche Gerät bereichert Skiabenteuer, ohne die Stille der Natur zu stören.
