"We can follow any open air sports activity," explains Corrado Cervellati, "where there is a satellite signal. And we can bring families back to the football stadiums and turn football back into a healthy and entertaining sport." The secret is a special shin guard that has a built-in satellite receiver, an accelerometer a battery (with a 7-hour charge) and a transmitter.
Come funziona “Footee” e perché rappresenta un nuovo modo di vedere e giocare il calcio? A spiegarlo è proprio Corrado Cervellati, 27 anni, business developer per Space Exe. Al microfono di Danny Grano [danny_fmdigitale] racconta come la tecnologia può migliorare lo sport da un doppio punto di vista, di chi lo pratica e di chi lo segue come appassionato e tifoso, che vive così un'esperienza di "realtà aumentata". Lo staff di Space Exe sarà alla RomeCup 2015, nella capitale dal 25 al 27 marzo, per mostrare a tutti gli sportivi come funziona il parastinco Footee.
