Indoor Court Marking Innovations

Abstract

Abstract: The world of sport is continually changing over the years, and the use of technology is just one of those areas that have made an impact on many sports in the modern day. Technological development is rapidly changing almost every facet of the sports industry from the way sports are played and the facilities and equipments players use. Multi sports bring a whole new meaning to dynamic coaching. Coaches can use the customizable lines for enhanced training purposes as they have the ability to change the scenario at hand via the push of a button for the indoor court markings, a new type of glass surface that utilizes programmable lighting to create lines for indoor sports playing ground, with this system can be used for illuminating different courts at the touch of a switch, adapting to sports such as badminton, basketball, indoor soccer or hockey and handball or volleyball. Using a series modification with ceramic treatments to reach levels of elasticity and friction similar to traditional indoor courts, the surface technology provides enough bounce to make sure a ball responds to the same way as it would on a wooden floor. Combined with sensor technologies, digital markings can also provide reference to where a players foot stepped out of bounds, or where a ball landed. We live in an age where sporting facilities are becoming ever more modern and state of the art, so the sports floor should be ready for the innovations.
