Google Glass in the Fc Barcelona vs Fc Beskona Match

FC Barcelona v Laboral Kutxa will be the
first game in Euroleague history in
which the players will use Google Glass
to let fans see the action through their
own eyes. Barça’s Marcelinho Huertas
will be wearing the item from the
moment he enters the pavilion, showing
viewers everything he sees when
warming up and preparing for a big
match like this. During the game, a
member of the FCB staff will don the
glasses to show us what it all looks like
from the bench. Nocioni will be doing
likewise for the opposition.
As well as the two players, one of the
three match officials will also be
wearing the glasses so fans can see
what the game looks like through his
eyes. Once the game is over, the
Euroleague will be producing a video
using the recorded images and if the
project is a success, will be using the
system for the Final Four in Milan (May
16-18).
New challenges
“New technologies are providing new
opportunities and new ways of
communicating with the spectators” say
the Euroleague organisers, who have
been working on the project with La
Salle Ramon Llull University, Barcelona.
Google Glass is not only used for
recording videos. It also operates as a
hands-free mobile device with voice-
activated Internet use.
