Drastically changing the nature of team sporting events - a new way to collect new and different types of game statistics .... to make sports more competitive.
IEEE reports "What's really interesting is where Benedetto Vigna wants to take this technology. He has plans to make the sensor smaller and tougher, and hope to place it inside of things like shoes, textiles, and medical devices to aid in data collection."
For example in an NBA basketball game, if each player, referee and the ball contained a MEMS device, data statistics can be collected and analyzed by coaches and fans to develop new styles of play. Sports broadcasters could provide new depths of game understanding, and lastly rules interpretation can be simplified in case of close refereeing calls.
Today's basketball statistics do not reflect the true value of a player's team contribution, e.g. movement with out the ball, set picks and blocks, rebounding block outs. The same principles can be utilized in baseball; the player's defensive positioning on the field with relationship to a hit ball.
