Article Summary
June, 2004 One of a number of technologies set to revolutionise how sport is viewed, prepared for and played, is the German Cairos system which involves putting miniature transmitters in the soccer ball and in each shin-pad of every player and umpire on the pitch, with a view to tracking every movement on the field of battle.
