Ctrus Football

Ctrus is an airless, see-though soccer ball with position-detection technology and is constructed with an inner structure (skelle-core) and an outer net-embedded shell made with reinforced elastomers. The difference in hardness of these two layers and their flexibility brings about the bounce in the ball. The electronic components in its nucleus communicate wirelessly with control stations at the stadium, giving essential feedback and functions like inner light color changes at critical game situations (such as goal, offside, and out-of-bounds); recording of kick force and travel speed; location of the ball relative to the field (thanks to an interactive detection system via GPS/RFID); and point-of-view camera footage (with a software-stabilized image).
