New Mavs' Locker Room Includes Facial Recognition, Oxygen System

The Mavericks yesterday unveiled their new locker room, which is "bathed mostly in white with blue lighting and tons of luxurious touches." The most "significant upgrade is in the oxygen system, lighting system and the scents that are pumped into the room." Mavs Owner Mark Cuban said, "We reached out to scientists that re-oxygenate the casinos to keep people awake and alert. It pulls out the oxygen, cleans it and re-oxygenates it. And we did the same thing with the lighting." Meanwhile, the actual locker stalls have ventilated shoe drawers and "bigger screens for their televisions and laptops" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 10/1). Cuban added of new facial-recognition technology, "When a player walks in or anybody walks in, we’ll have facial recognition that will take a picture of you and say ok, 'Here comes Mark,' 'Here comes Dirk'" (USATODAY.com, 9/30).
