Although it has a simple appearance and structure, [Boulderball] is so profound because it was developed by a team of experts in sports science and cognitive science.

In 2021, they started developing a new [Boulderball] based on the prototype, which combines new route settings, specialized knowledge about exercise, training and gameplay. After creating a model using a 3D printer and checking over and over again how it feels when held in the fingertips and its visual beauty, the Boulderball, which has taken a further leap forward from the prototype, was completed.
