AI operating system for wave pools
Turning every artificial wave into athlete intelligence, venue telemetry and broadcast-ready replay.
SmartWave connects edge cameras, computer vision, physics-based metrics and wave telemetry so surf parks can understand both the athlete and the machine generating the wave.
Pipeline 1 Live
Observed metrics
362°semantic rotation
11.2 km/hlinear speed P80
1.93 Gpeak load
3D pose
3D maneuver intelligence
Quaternion rotation, angular velocity and confidence per event.
Wave digital twin
Observed wave telemetry tied to PLC recipes and venue operations.
The product
A single intelligence layer for surf parks.
Artificial wave venues already control the wave. SmartWave adds the missing data layer: what happened in the ride, what happened in the wave, and how that should improve coaching, operations and fan engagement.
Pipeline 1 Live
Analyzes the surfer in the wave: maneuver windows, 3D pose, rotation, linear speed, G-force, semantic labels and highlights.
Pipeline 2 Wave
Analyzes empty waves: lip, face, whitewater, energy proxy, break point and a dataset connecting PLC recipes to observed output.
Venue OS
Connects replay screens, dashboards, athlete history, coaching tools and operational quality loops in one platform.
Athlete performance
3D pose and rotational physics from video.
SmartWave extracts a structured body/board representation and calculates physical metrics that simple 2D thresholds miss.
Wave telemetry
The wave becomes measurable.
Visual telemetry helps venues compare the expected wave recipe with what the camera observed.
Event windows
Better start and end of maneuvers.
Segmentation-first event detection reduces cascading metric errors caused by weak maneuver boundaries.
SmartWave Manifesto
“Sport is entering the era of native artificial intelligence. SmartWave wants to turn athletic performance into a language of data.”
“Our goal is not just to automate judging. We want to create the first structured data model for technical surf performance.”
“We started with surfing because it is computationally hard. Solving it creates a foundation for expansion.”
“SmartWave was born to turn athletic performance into objective data through AI.”
Technology stack
Enterprise-ready sports AI built around evidence, not subjectivity.
AI camera
Ride capture triggered by the venue cycle, designed for Raspberry Pi + AI accelerator deployment.
SmartWave Model
Surfer, board, wave and pose evidence are extracted and checked for quality frame by frame.
Motion engine
Quaternion rotation, trajectory smoothing, velocity and G-force are calculated from the structured signal.
Replay + analytics
Highlights, scorecards and dashboards make the result usable for surfers, coaches and operators.
Validation
Validated with real footage, Model-first windows and Lab Console review.
SmartWave is being tested with real wave-pool videos. The SmartWave Model-first pipeline finds maneuver windows from visual evidence, while the Lab Console audits metrics, confidence, 3D pose quality and artifact consistency.
- Maneuver windows reviewed in the Lab Console against expected events and video evidence.
- Auditable physics per event: 3D rotation, linear speed, G-force and pose confidence.
- Highlights and technical reports generated from the same artifacts used for validation.
- Wave telemetry validation tracks face, lip, whitewater and proxy energy from visual segmentation.
