In this episode, we dive deep into the truth about jump height measurement with Herbert Vuijk, the founder of the Surfr App. We cover everything from how the tech works, the role of artificial intelligence, the accuracy of height measurements to the ethics of fair competition and what the future holds for this tech. I suggest listening to the entire podcast so you don’t miss anything, but we’ve got chapters below if you’d like to jump around.
