    Why not just put robots on the field and forget about all this tedious using your own senses and abilities nonsense? Better yet, scratch the games entirely, just make up virtual matches and stream the footage to the audience's Oculus Rift headsets and save billions in wages each year.
    So, the future has no actual sportsmen any more - at best, they're just drones who can follow orders.

      ***** a wetsuit,protein powder, and other "science" in sports don't tell the quarterback when to throw, where someone is open, and don't tell the reciever to adjust his route... that's called athleticism, and knowing your game. with something like this, joe montana is no longer who he is. Jerry rice is just another receiver. this sort of thing is like playing Madden on the easiest setting. It's fun for people who don't care about the game.

      ***** Absolutely spot on Cody!. And I might add, that swimmers are now being prevented from using certain bathing suits, baseball players from using certain bats, cyclists from riding certain bikes, even javelin throwers from using certain javelins - and all because they give unfair advantages, because they turn the event into a competition of the tech, not the athlete - just ask this year's US Olympic cycle team - a change in costume and they plummeted down the rankings.

  • @TheHelvetican
    @TheHelvetican 10 років тому +4

    So the technology is basically telling the players what they need to do on the field... where the ball is. Apply this to society as a whole. Who will control the technology?

    • @TheHelvetican
      @TheHelvetican 10 років тому

      Tech would determine the winner of the game.

    • @kendon0923
      @kendon0923 10 років тому +1

      @TheHelvetican. Not really. Well maybe in the beginning if it is not done uniformly for each team. But if all the teams have them then the best players with the best coaches still win. As he demonstrated with the examples of the wrist watch and the radio in the helmet, the tech just made the game move faster and thus more interesting for more people. The underlying athletic ability is still necessary.

    We already have something very similar to the end product he was alluding to - they're called video games. Sports are popular with most people because they preserve the human element as paramount. I'm all for sports technology in lots in ways, for example, aiding the referees in making correct calls but there would definitely be a point at which talent, fitness, practice and hard work would become secondary to the processing power of your teams dugout. This is the point when it fails to be sport in the traditional sense which is recognisable as physical competition between 2 people/teams or an individual versus the environment such as climbing. Either way the body and it's mastery of technique and manual equipment tends to be central, not processing speeds and bandwidth.

    The best TED talks offer problems, possible solutions, and then get you excited about the possibility inherent in the technology, so that you spend the afternoon thinking about other problems it can solve.
    Good Stuff.

    As a motorsports fan, I know exactly what he's on about. Being able to actually see what happened from essentially a driver's perspective and essentially live rather than having to wait half an hour or more to get an interview with a driver who barely remembers what hqppened anyway makes a huge difference. Now that cameras and transmission hardware have become so much smaller and lighter, putting them in athletes gear isn't something to shrug off.

  • @gpligor
    @gpligor 10 років тому +4

    OK you are not being brutaly honest. Experiencing things from someone else perspective just by raw audio and video is not enough to create an emotion. Virtual reality by its own is not enough to bring the absolute emersive experience. By just watching is not enough to be in someone else's shoe. Let's not fool ourselves, this technology on its own is not enough to give better kind of people and build a better world.

  • @MrAnalButternut
    @MrAnalButternut 10 років тому +8

    Pretty cool, but doesn't it really remove the point of being a better player? If you're being told by a computer that calculates exactly what you should do to win? I love the tech of it. But it seems it would kinda remove the point of being a good player?

    • @Memento_Mori_Music
      @Memento_Mori_Music 10 років тому

      Exactly what I was thinking.
      Sure the players themselves can still make mistakes and have free will (I'll just assume that they have for the sake of argument) but won't this end up just being 2 computers playing against each other?
      Edit: In hindsight, I guess that an amateur team with amazing tech would still lose against a pro team with lousy tech. So I guess skills will always beat tech anyway.

      nathaniel beaumont All depends on what is allowed in the end.
      E.g., having visual data presented to you by the means of AR is on a whole different level than using a robotic exoskeleton arm while playing tennis. I don't see people allowing that kind of tech in sports matches soon.

    • @Lumpyrox1412
      @Lumpyrox1412 10 років тому +1

      No it doesn't remove it. The system can tell the players what to do but its up to the players to carry it out. Which will define a level of fitness that the position they are on the field needs.
      Plus the players can potentially ignore the system if they wanted.

    • @SirKickz
      @SirKickz 10 років тому +2

      Nah. Firstly, eventually every player will be using it, so the playing field remains level. Secondly, it serves to enhance the abilities of the players, not replace them. And this is easily proven by a simple question: do you think that wearing that headset is going to make you nfl material? If not, then the human factor is definitely still there.

  • @DimitriPappas
    @DimitriPappas 10 років тому +2

    Oculus could spark a massive revolution. Exciting times :D Imagine watching a World Cup match through Oculus perspective instead of normal stadium cameras zooming around on a normal TV. I'm not talking about being from the player's perspective, but the actual stadium cameras. Like, that lucky fly in the stadium is now you.

  • @Serpico0

    So guys, this is a good talk to me, but an open question that I have to all of you is... Did you get annoyed by "specific" examples shown by Chris here? It doesn't happen to me all the time, but in this case I felt completely embarrassed by the sudden burst of subjectivity imaged in the Kardashians and said "ok that is unnecessary".

    Problem with VR is that there aren't real stakes involved. It's not interesting if one is merely subjected to the illusion of injury. e.g. running IRL beats running in a game anyday..

  • @coolconk
    @coolconk 10 років тому +1

    What he didn't mention in this video is the downsides. If you're speaking to someone who has Google Glass on, you have no idea if they're recording via their Google Glass, because there isn't even a red light or any indication to tell you you're being filmed. Say for example you're speaking to a work colleague, saying something like " I disagree with how our boss has handled this, that and the other". Who's to say that colleague won't show the boss what you said on their google glass system, resulting in you maybe not getting that salary raise or promotion? Instead, it's given to the worker who secretly recorded you. People counter that though by saying "people can record you on smartphones secretly now" but you have to basically raise or strategically place the phone somewhere & it's far more likely to be seen. People spend far too much time on smartphones anyway, so why should we glue them to our faces?
    On to the sports part, he mentioned about a possible system telling an NFL player where the ball is going to land, or where a player is open, which to me, takes away the skill of the player. Stick one on every players helmet, if a system tells the player that someone's open, that can make every players IQ the same.
    Onto Oculus Rift, if someone wants to experience something so bad, like be a professional athlete, why not work hard to get to that experience? No, let's just detach ourselves from the real world, put a screen on our face and pretend, that will be much better I'm sure.

    • @NathanielBeaumont06

  • @nevarran
    @nevarran 10 років тому +1

    Watching a sports game and being able to "jump" in any moment into a player's POV and see what he sees, sounds very appealing. But it needs to be backed with some serious tech, we can't have all the athletes wearing helmets, glasses and whatnot.

  • @ShadeWMD
    @ShadeWMD 10 років тому

    It is ironic to hear a lot of people in the comments espousing anti-technological progress rhetoric when they're using computers connected to the Internet to do so. They don't realize they've already consented to the future they claim to resist.

  • @gururamen
    @gururamen 10 років тому

    Future will tell, it will enhance the experience for sure, but the crowd might disappear from stadiums when they realize they can get the same experience from their sofas. What's the revenue from that and what will happen when the AR is better then the real reality?

    It's going to be hard for kids to think more about space and science when they're so caught up re-living the experiences of some sportsmen on a field. It seems that this is serving to further vanity and the vicarious living people are getting so accustomed to. I think Google glass can be revolutionary, and TED could do a better job in portraying it with a better idea worth spreading.

    I dont think a HUD type device that helps you catch the ball will be allowed like he is talking about here 7:00 because the whole point of sports is competition and to see who is better, not have handicapped devices making players who previously were bad better because of AR.

  • @esscaay
    @esscaay 10 років тому

    If both teams had equal access to this technology and to all the information needed to completely read the game, wouldn't that destroy the game?

    All these examples of AR in sports are great, but I'd also like to see it in motorsports such as F1. A driver could get the same levels of information that you'd see on screen in a videogame and more, fuel levels, car condition in general, other driver's tactics...

    And yet he never clarifies that Google Glass is not AR. It doesn't have nor processing power nor large enough display to overlay information over video feed.
    As for sports.. It may draw some audience, but at the end of the day it simplifies the essence of sports. One has to rely on the information on screen and dump his instincts. By this logic anyone can play football - just follow the green marker. Besides, the machine calculating data will have its own bias.

  • @JesperLysgaardRasmussen

    Thought it was going to be a very interesting talk, but was dissappointed to hear that the speaker obviously isn't from a research background and is using the term "augmented reality" at a published TED talk without having understood the term and research field.. Watching something from someone else's POV is first of all nothing new, and furthermore has nothing to do with AR.. But agreed, it would be cool though to see what the sport elites see when performing to their best! :)

    Call it augmentation or whatever, it's still manipulation and an excellent propaganda tool. The only true reality is the one we're experiencing through our natural sensors. Are we that far gone into decay that we must need to accept propaganda-enhancing products? Any technology, no matter how advanced, if handled by madmen with bizarre motivations will end-up being a weapon. History showed it countless times and reality continues to show it everywhere around us. But the control system they're building will require some sort of mind-altering technology because otherwise people won't accept it.
