I made SABR - an AI model that helps you visualize the beta/technique on any route, based on your body parameters. You can input a video of you climbing any route, in any orientation or lighting condition (it's truly versatile!). SABR then creates a virtual avatar of your body shape and uses it to climb the route you're climbing. Then, you can compare/contrast.

You can see the demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnvNPWoYZz4

Will be open sourcing the model, backend, and frontend codebase soon!

I look forward to playing with this. It seems astonishing.

I will be open sourcing the codebase and model. Due to compute and training dataset size constraints, the model is not exactly "production ready". I have (and am) cherry picking rare examples of it where it is decent. You can play around with it when I open source it but truly good results require multiple millions of dollars (but it really is a linear scaling of compute and dataset).
