OTS - Glass video floor sets new standards in making sports history at the Basketball World Cup
2023. July 27. 11:30
Stein a.d. Traun/Madrid, 27 July, 2023 (APA/OTS) - Madrid was home
to a world premiere between 21 and 23 July that will revolutionise
the world of sport. From the quarter finals, the games at the FIBA
U19 Women's Basketball World Cup were no longer contested on
hardwood parquet, but on the ASB GlassFloor, a high-tech video
floor for sport made of glass. German company ASB GlassFloor
revealed a new dimension in presenting a sporting event through its
"GlassCourt OS" application especially developed for the purpose.
In the battle for Olympics relevance and the coming generations of
sports fans, the new technologies open up opportunities for many
sports to position themselves for the future. Players, fans and
FIBA were all enthusiastic.
"Today is a proud day for the International Basket Federation
and for FIBA, which has quite possibly changed the history of our
sport to a certain extent. We are aiming for and already planning
future implementation of this technology. This moment is historic,"
FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis says. Jorge Garbajosa,
president of FIBA Europe, takes a similar view: "I have the feeling
that basketball is changing. I would go so far as to say that
indoor sports will change."
ASB GlassFloor Managing Director Christof Babinsky is the
person who made this possible. "In everything that we do, the
safety of the athletes and awareness of them is at the focus of our
actions. We have got into basketball with the intention of staying
in," Babinsky says.
GlassCourt OS is interactive software developed to seamlessly
integrate data from a range of third-party providers, including
player and ball tracking systems, sports and health data platforms
and training applications. The software works as a central hub,
which is able to process data in real time and to present it in
visually impressive and informative graphics that can be displayed
directly on the glass floor. The interaction between GlassCourt OS
and ASB GlassFloor opens up a whole new range of opportunities for
marketing and training.
