Finding Basketball Players With VR

The multitude of uses for VR is growing every day. A new study is looking at the potential VR could have for basketball coaches in finding talented players. Take a look at the story below: Staffordshire University’s Dr Pooya Soltani co-led the research with Dr Antoine Morice from Aix-Marseille University and shares how VR technology could be used to find the next Steph Curry or Lebron James in  this recent article  published on The Conversation. The experiment  invited both experienced and novice basketball players to shoot ‘virtual’ hoops in a realistic basketball simulator where their performance was evaluated using three scales; how the ball interacted with the hoop, how players interacted with the ball, and how players adjusted their movements. Experienced participants played basketball at competitive levels ranging from departmental to professional national while novice participants reported recreational or no experience of playing basketball.

Satellite technology makes advances for ice management “The OTC program this year has had a noticeable sub-theme of technology advances for Arctic oil and gas operations. That’s not such a surprise, when one considers that Norway’s biggest oil and gas companies are reviving exploration plans in Arctic waters. This action is spurred by the Norwegian government, which is eager to see new discoveries in the Barents Sea to reinforce the country’s future as a key energy supplier to Europe.” Read More .

VR Creating “Iron Man” Like Feels In the Operating Room

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WJAR) — In the operating room, virtual reality is adding a new dimension for doctors performing shoulder replacement surgery. “It’s kind of like Iron Man,” said Dr. Edward Scott Paxton, who specializes in shoulder replacements at University Orthopedics in Rhode Island. Special head gear, he said, is bringing three-dimensional technology into focus. “It gives you so much information at your fingertips,” said Paxton. Using a new mixed-reality system from medical supplier STRYKER, he can literally map out and see an area that’s difficult to navigate. You can see we have to put these implants in bone, and this is a pretty funky designed bone, it’s not a square or a circle and you can imagine if it’s inside somebody it’s deep down. If they have some wear and deformity, you want to get these components right in the right spot,” explained Paxton. This “mapping out” is done beforehand and is used during the shoulder replacement, improving his ability to execute
