RFID chips to connect players

[ad_1]

Providing ever more elaborate statistics for coaches or viewers is the objective of the NFL, which has just announced that players will be equipped with RFID chips.

The National American Football League (NFL) has just announced that it will have 17 stadiums equipped with a monitoring system developed by Zebra Technologies to monitoring the performance of live players. These will be fitted with sensors RFID on their sports equipment (at shoulder level) which will send supporters and coaches their performances directly: distance traveled, speed, position or acceleration, They will be watched throughout the match.

In this way, even fans who watch the match in front of their television will be able to know everything about each player, in real time. Coaches can decide to change the squad based on the fitness of their players. These RFID chips do not, however, give any information on the shocks that athletes can undergo, which are sometimes extremely violent in NFL. For this, it will then be necessary to turn to a technology such as FitGuard, or the Reebok Checklight.

The American leagues are very fond of statistics, with these chips, the information to be processed and studied will be increased tenfold. The immersion of viewers too. We can't wait for such a technology to arrive in France, statistics compiled during a Guingamp Metz would increase the interest of such a match (or not).
