I am helping my son with a project. He is looking to design a system whereby by a soccor coach could replay a match on a PC screen showing each player as a graphic. This would enable the coach to look at team formations, missed plays etc.
The idea is as follows:
• The field would be marked out with 4 transmitters at each corner which would transmit a signals identifying themselves as markers.
• Each of the 22 players would wear a transmitter which would identify their team and name
• The Ball would have a transmitter identifying it as a ball.
• A receiver at the sideline would receive each of these signals (possibly 1 signal from each transmitter every second) and store them in a file representing the game
• This stored file could then be deciphered by a program which would display each player on the field and the ball and track their movements.
He is hoping to do this as a school project and the idea is that it has to be functional and affordable.
QUESTION
Obviously the transmittors and receiver(s) are the critical elements. Are there transmittors/receivers out there that are capable of providing this type of functionality ? - Without costing the earth. Appreciate any advise you can give us on this subject.
