OT: Now if you thought Oregon's floor was weird...

[Plumber Luigi]

imagine one that is semi-transparent and the court lines, for all sports that are played on that floor, light up underneath it.

Presenting the TRON Basketball Court

Cool floor!

 

[OneTrickPony]

That would take some getting used to...does look cool!

This could give new meaning to "a game of X's and O's". Let each coach diagram plays on offense for players in real time, on the Tron-floor. Next each team would be allowed an ex-officio player, a hacker trying to gain control of the opposing coach's animatronic play-calling. It could be a real gas, say NO2.

Tiffany Hayes would definitely have stretched the limits of it's viability, with all the floor crashes that she had over the years!!!

 

[CL82]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks cool but the second a player crashes a lightcycle, it will be recalled.

I wonder how easy it is on the legs/knees? Game called because of computer malfunction? Out of bounds calls made by the court? Foul line a bit longer at visitors end of the court? Head linesman now a highly paid computer expert? Three point line by Nike?

The floor ISN'T a huge screen. All the lines for each setting are laid out under the floor and all the tablet in the wall does is to turn different ones one. Check out the first video on the page, it shows a bit of how the floor was constructed.

It would be great to use in practice if it had the ability to lay out plays and motion on it. World's biggest tablet.

Weird. Just.....weird. I am thinking that would be pretty tough on the eyes over the course of a two hour game.
