Running blind
Simon Wheatcroft is a determined ultra marathon runner. And he just happens to be blind. To compensate for what he can’t see, Simon trains using the Runkeeper app, running on IBM Cloud. The app streams his location to the cloud where it’s analyzed every second, along with the data of over 120,000 other runners. Through his headphones the app provides audio cues about his speed and distance to help him determine when and where to turn, avoid obstacles and know how far he has to go. The IBM Cloud is helping Simon to do something amazing. We just hope he can hear it over the sound of the world cheering him on.
