Sportsticles

PROBLEM

The body wants to compete. The technology hasn't kept up.

SOLUTION

Galaxy Sportsticles is the MTREES athletic, recreational, and competitive experience universe — the full taxonomy of products for people who want to move, compete, perform, and occasionally injure themselves with better equipment than they currently have. Sports is the part of the human experience that most honestly reflects the desire to be better at something specific, measured against another person or a personal record, with feedback that arrives immediately and without ambiguity. The trees here are instruments of that feedback loop: haptic systems that translate virtual combat into physical consequence, camera platforms for documenting athletic form and the moments immediately before athletic failure, and modular weapon systems compatible with both regulation competition and a stick someone found in the park. Galaxy Sportsticles does not distinguish between professional athletes and people who bought something at 2am and have been meaning to use it. The hardware treats everyone equally.
