Randommization

Ctrus soccer ball adds some tech to the ball and to Soccer, allowing it to function as a virtual referee in the game. The ball has embedded sensors and lights up in different colors in the event of going out of the boundary, for fouls and for scoring a goal. Camera and positioning sensors in the ball would provide another view of the activities in the game, while its characteristics would certainly help in eliminating some human errors by the game’s referees.

GPS, RFID and assorted sensors are embedded in the ball’s skeletal structure, which is then covered in a reinforced elastic mesh. The ball does not require air and has about the same bounce and weight as the standard soccer ball. It is just a concept at the moment, but it brought this year’s Red Dot Design Award for its creators, Agent.
