Hardcourt Data

摘要

Sensors and a microprocessor inside a basketball record thousands of data points about how a player is shooting, dribbling, and moving with the ball and then relays the data to an app on Apple or Android devices. The app points out correctable problems, such as shots that don't arc very high on their way to the basket. That could indicate that the shooters are relying too much on their shoulder muscles and not enough on their wrists. The ball is regulation size and weight, even with the embedded electronics and their battery—which can be recharged by putting the ball on a wireless pad.
