When you’re in the midst of a hard and fast basketball game, you might not have time to stop and look up at the scoreboard. What if you could just get the score by looking at your opponent’s shirt?
In Australia, new jerseys with electro-luminescent displays on them are being tested. The shirts show information for the players, such as the time left in the game and the current score. The name of the technology is TeamAware and it’s supposed to be “beneficial for the player’s confidence in their team tactics.”
The jersey works in conjunction with an iPod-sized computer that must be strapped to the player’s body and which communicates with a central control system. No word on when or whether this will make it’s way to the U.S.
