Chips in Balls

Ten years ago, Fox launched the Fox Puck, to track where the puck was at all times.  What they did with the technology (real-time floating lights, trail blazing shots) was silly.  But, to track where the puck is at all times was beyond fantastic.  Embed GPS on players’ sweaters, and you have a gold mine.  The same for soccer, football, and baseball.  Combine that with video games’ player motions, and you are near perfection.  Add in a reality show that tracks what players do after hours, and you will have the complete model.

When will the revolution start?
