This new technology opens up opportunities for many sports to position themselves for the future, competing for Olympic relevance and the next generation of sports fans. Players, fans, and FIBA were thrilled with the experience. “Today is a proud day for the International Basketball Federation and FIBA, which may also have changed the history of our sport to some extent. We want and are already planning for the future implementation of this technology“, FIBA Secretary-General Andreas Zagklis said. Jorge Garbajosa, President of FIBA Europe, shared a similar sentiment: “I feel that basketball is changing. I would even say that indoor sports will be different.” GlassCourt OS is an interactive software solution designed to seamlessly integrate data from various 3rd parties, including player and ball tracking systems, sports and health data platforms, and coaching applications. The software acts as a central hub, capable of processing real-time data and transforming it into visually stunning and informational graphics, displayed directly on the glass sports floor. GlassCourt OS seamlessly integrates and synchronises the ASB GlassFloor with LED boards and video cubes, providing real-time, contextual overlays that inform spectator, athlete or coach. The result is an unprecedented level of engagement and value for athletes, clubs, associations, sponsors, and, most importantly, fans. The combination of GlassCourt OS and ASB GlassFloor presents endless marketing and traininig opportunities via the interactive LED canvas.
