Quick look at the Reality Sports Technologies Quarterback Development System.
Popular sci-fi novels and major motion pictures have used the basis of an increasingly technology dependent human existence, along with generational leaps in progression, and the void that is an unknown future of possibility and wonder, to conjure up worlds where technology not only makes life easier, but opens doors to new frontiers never before imagined.
In regards to technological advancements and athletics, don’t expect to see any genetically engineered athletes or humanoid robots take the field any time soon, but it’s clear that Virtual Reality training has begun staking its claim in the future of competitive sports. One company on the cusp of this revolutionary new field is Reality Sports Technologies. Their President and CEO, Curt Krull, has decades of football experience as both a player and coach. Mr. Krull’s Quarterback Development System aims to place quarterback and coach on the same wavelength when it comes to film study and player tutelage.
Their Quarterback Development System differs from simulated Virtual Reality systems in that all footage used with the software originates from actual on-field action. The Pro model includes a 180-degree lens that absorbs the totality of the field during practice sessions, providing more than a quarterback exclusive viewpoint. This film can be uploaded to the software application, where coach and player can cycle through individual plays with full pause and rewind control for thorough analysis. Also equipped is a Playbook Manager that serves as a tutorial of sorts to guide through quarterback fundamentals and reads/progressions for dozens of passing plays.
The Reality Sports Technologies Quarterback Development System could really prove useful because coaches can see what their quarterback was seeing. They can then use the camera controls to pan across the field and show the player what more favorable options were also available. The idea is that through watching mistakes and their potential remedies through his own perspective, the quarterback can better understand how to correct their mistakes in a game setting.
Virtual Reality as a teaching method, in many fields and functions, could likely become the next frontier in human development and the Quarterback Development System is helping to usher in a new day in technology and teaching for football players.
