Zebra’s “MotionWorks” technology is unique, however, when it comes to football, since it relies solely on RFID tags. The first tracked game kicked off in early September, with the Bills vs. the Bears at Soldier Field. This season, all of that data will be collected as part of a trial run, but you can expect to see RFID tracking details on your TV screen at every game starting in 2015. [link to www.forbes.com] |

"One tag does the tracking, but the second does the orientation, so you'll know which way a player is facing," she states. "The tags are pulsing, and the receivers are capturing data 25 times per second, and [they] will be able to capture the right shoulder of a player rotating, so you can see that movement.
