Field notes
The described system combines computer-vision tracking of ball trajectory and athlete movement with synchronized haptic feedback through a VIPins device. The page identifies three settings—spectator demos at tournaments, club coaching and training, and athlete monitoring—and says prototypes are being tested in tournament environments; it also cautions that hardware form and features may change before commercial release.
