ARKit goes to the ballpark with MLB At Bat

26 Sep 2017 • sixcolors.com

If you don’t know about Statcast, here’s the deal: Every major-league ballpark is equipped with imaging equipment that allows MLB to measure, at a rate of 60 frames per second, the position of every player on the field, as well as the location of the ball. It’s a technological revolution that is allowing teams and researchers alike to understand aspects of baseball that were previously thought to be unmeasurable, because they go beyond traditional stats that simply measure the outcomes of individual plays.

Sounds very futuristic to me. Sometimes I wonder if we’ll even recognize the world in 100 years or so.
