SportSensor: The Summary

It's time for me to reflect on my entrepreneurial project named SportSensor. After being in IST 195 for about 2 months I have learned numerous concepts and terms dealing with computers, software and other technology services. In the beginning when I first decided that I wanted to have this be my idea I never thought that I would have this much information and have it develop this much.

I also learned that my idea might not work as smoothly as possible after learning more about RFID chips. RFID has a range limitation. If the ball goes through up rights or if the puck is moving at a very high rate of speed, it may be difficult for the readers to pick up on the motion and placement. RFID technology is a very interesting advancement in today's world and I can see it advancing to be better and faster in the future, but for now SportSensor can work with things like the golf balls that I mentioned before or the can slowly become more popular like the prototype World Cup footballs used.

Because of the problems being faced currently to have the SportSensor be successful I don't think the world is ready for this new technology in sports. Technology is getting better and better as we move on and who knows what can come next. I hope that in the future something like the SportSensor can work in all sports so that bad calls won't happen any longer.

I'd like to thank the following bloggers to opening their ideas to my comments:
