Big 12 Glass Court Surface

In all honesty, i wonder how epileptics in the crowd would reach to the ground flickering and changing though the scoreboard screens and other signs already flicker alot during games.

Good point. Or players who recently went through concussion protocol.

Hence, NHL arena boards now include digital ads. Still doesn’t make the ads likeable for TV viewers.

Digital ads are virtualized for viewers at home. As I understood the original proposal, this would be created for, and visible to, the arena audience itself--a clear floor with colors and images displayed, not merely virtualized. ESPN said that it's "a high-tech glass floor embedded with LED technology that will allow the conference to feature data-driven graphics, advertising and even games for fans during timeouts."

This is already doable. The overlay images on the court. Fox I think puts the shot clock at the FT line

Yeah, I know they have the capabilities I just think people would throw a fit. They'll implement the technology, get people used to it being used and after 3-5 years start talking about ads being overlayed during the game.

Sure, but think about the Gen Z content consumer and new generations. Unfortunately that generation likes seeing new things, stimuli, unique forms of entertainment.

I'm not that much older than Gen Z. I get that younger people crave stimuli, it's because they're overstimulated. That's part of why I don't like it, that's only going of to get worse with technologies such as this.

I realize there's no stopping it and complaining about it is like punching the wind. That doesn't mean I have to like it

We had a green synthetic floor in the old field house. Only remember the sound being different. Anyone could play there when the teams weren't using it.

I remember playing on those. A lot of the times when I skipped school at E.O. Smith and walked over to the Field House, the Guyer Gym, the one with the wooden floors is where most UConn students played pick up games.

In short, unlikable digital ads. /s

I spent alot of time playing hoops in that Field House. Probably why it took me so long to graduate.

That and the binge drinking...
 
So are the actual lines on the court drawn by this screen too, or are they covering the top or something?

It is all about making the most money they can by getting more advertisers nothing else
 
I don't like it. I could see it already. they got some technicians moving the 3 point line in real time to mess up the shooters. or they inject a subliminal quick blip of some porno movie onto the floor

Is that for real? That’s consequential to the rules of basketball and an untenable error in design. I really don’t think I’m just being cranky and anti-change when my reflex to this is that the digital court stinks.

Apparently it is there but it could be "bolder" to stand out more

 
I wonder what kind of glass it is? Something like gorilla glass can be thin while also being super strong and scratch resistant. And protective coatings or structured surfaces could be added to achieve the same grip as the clear coats that are on wood floors. The thin glass could enable the floor to be designed to have the appropriate "bounce". I like the idea of having courts that can be easily changed but, yeah, it still has to be appealing and functional. The court can also be connected to the shot and game clocks to make violations easier to call.

Idk if the first guy is being accused of editing the picture in his post or not, but you truly cannot see the line whatsoever in that image. Idk, I admit it’s cool technology, but I just think there’s no improvement made by it or needed in the first place.
