Now here is a unique invention that could very well change the
(sur)face of sports. I am referring to the GlassFloor that
sports LEDs under the glass surface which can be changed
accordingly to display the lines for any kind of court, and
advertisers will love the fact that it can also show off huge
ads during timeouts, in addition to the scoreboard – although I
would think that the latter is not that practical since glancing
at the scores on a separate board is far easier to process
mentally than making out the figures with some humans running
all over the place. Not only that, the GlassFloor could be
equipped with the relevant sensors that it might eventually show
the umpire or referee that a ball or player is out of bounds,
and when coupled with replays, it would surely cut down on
technical errors – heck, make it a thing of the past. One
thing’s for sure, the GlassFloor is not going to find a place in
the world of football (soccer for those living in the US), or
any other grass-based pitch for that matter
