Research Area 2 Football

Title: "The Game-Changing Season"

In the year 2035, football has undergone a transformative evolution. Sarah, a sports biomechanics expert, and Max, a data analyst, find themselves at the forefront of innovation in the football world. Together, they introduce a revolutionary wearable technology called "Game Sense," which provides real-time performance feedback to players.

As they fine-tune their invention, they receive a call from Dr. Carlos Hernandez, a leading neurologist focused on sports-related injuries. He proposes a collaboration to integrate concussion detection systems directly into the players' helmets. This breakthrough not only enhances player safety but also sets a new standard for sports leagues worldwide.

Meanwhile, in the heart of a bustling city, Mia, an architect with a passion for sustainability, leads a team in designing a state-of-the-art football stadium. Their creation, "GreenField Stadium," incorporates solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and natural ventilation, setting a precedent for environmentally conscious sports venues.

The generated material sparked creativity and offered a vision of how emerging technologies like sports biomechanics, data analytics, and sustainable design could revolutionize the world of sports. It reinforced the importance of safety, performance optimization, and sustainability in the evolution of football. This exercise also highlighted the potential societal benefits that responsible technological advancements can bring to the world of sports.

Twist-

As the football season unfolds with GameSense, concussion detection systems, and the eco-friendly GreenField Stadium in the limelight, a mysterious twist emerges. Sarah and Max, while analysing the vast dataset collected by GameSense, notice anomalies in the performance metrics of a rising star, Jake Thompson. His movements on the field defy the expected biomechanical patterns, raising suspicions about the integrity of the game.

In the heart of the bustling city, at the GreenField Stadium, Sarah, Max, and Mia convened in a discreet corner, analysing the mysterious performance of Jake Thompson.

Sarah: (whispering) "Max, these performance metrics are off the charts. There's something about Jake's movements that doesn't align with biomechanical expectations."

Max: (nodding) "I noticed that too. It's like he's operating on a different level. Mia, could there be anything in the stadium affecting the data?"

Mia: "I designed this stadium for sustainability, not for covert investigations. But we can install discreet sensors to monitor the environmental factors during the games."

Meanwhile, in a concealed room, Dr. Carlos Hernandez reviewed the neurology reports.

Carlos: "Jake's brain activity is exceptional. It's beyond anything I've seen in routine screenings. There's a neural adaptation here that we haven't encountered before."

Social media platforms became a battleground of opinions, reflecting the diverse perspectives within the football community.

Facebook Fan Groups:

FootballFamForever: "Can we trust our favourite sport anymore? This Jake Thompson situation is making me question everything. What's next for football?"

SustainableStadiumsAlliance: "GreenField Stadium started with good intentions, but now we're seeing the unintended consequences of pushing boundaries. How do we move forward sustainably?"

In the final scene, as the sun set over the GreenField Stadium, the football world stood together, embracing the harmony of technology, ethics, and the beautiful game.

Sensors and actuators

 

For this task, we added a servo motor into an Arduino. a servo motor is a rotary or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in a mechanical system.

To create the image above the things we need are 

- Arduino uno 

- USB Lead

- 3 Breadboard Jumper Wires

- Servo motor SG 90 

Servo motor has its own code which can be found in the Arduino application in file > Examples  > Servo > Sweep. Before plugging everything in we needed to find an example from the internet of which wires from the servo motor needs to be connected to the Arduino 

Wire 1 brown needs to be connected to the ground 

Wire 2 Red to the 5v 

Wire 3 to the PWM signal

 Sweep code 

as you can see this code is a loop starting from 0 to 180 and then goes back to 0. It will repeatedly do that and wont stop.  

 ultrasonic sensor is an instrument that measures the distance to an object using ultrasonic sound waves. An ultrasonic sensor uses a transducer to send and receive ultrasonic pulses that relay back information about an object promixty. 

The code for this is not included  in the example files so I have to install a new library. So go on sketch > include libraries  >manage libraries to download NewPing. 

This is what the sensor would be looking like if we have something in front of it i have used my hand for this example. 

instrument

 For this task, we had to use Arduino Uno to make music using SynthEdit. For this example we had to combine two codes so you open up Arduino> file >examples > communication>Midi after that you run the code. How I set for this task is the same as we did for the light sensor also adding some code from the previous lesson to this. We have to connect the potentiometer to control the pitch of the notes. By combining the two codes midi will allow tempo of notes to be played. I was told to bring our own headphones as the noise was squeaky. 

LED sensor

 

This is the expected output on what it should look like when you have connected everything together as you can see by the image that I have provided we need 3 things that need to be connected to the board 

- Arduino 

- breadboard 

- 3 breadboard wires 

RGB values represent colors in the RGB color model, which is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are combined in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. Each color component (red, green, and blue) is represented by an 8-bit integer, ranging from 0 to 255. This means that there are 256 possible intensity levels for each color component.

As you can see by the example to the left the black wire is connected to the ground (GND). The white wire is connected to the output which is (A0). The red wire is connected to the power which is (5V). After setting it up you can then control the speed of the light by the potentiometer by twisting it left and right. You will see the expected output number on a new window which is normally called COM. 

short video

 

This week we had to make a short video to advertise a new gadget or software that we have invented. For this documentary, we had to use media editing tools or any other software tools. Before we started working on the video we went on the internet to find an idea on how we could get attention from the audience. After looking for many videos me and my group had an idea of what we were gonna do. The idea was a basketball game but a funnier edition. We used Wondershare Fimora to edit the video. The video turned out to be good and wasn't expected to be.
