It's certainly shooting 100 percent this week.
A few months after reaching the one million basketball shots tracked milestone, ShotTracker kicked off its Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016 experience by announcing it had struck a multi-year partnership with Spalding.
Later in the same week, the smartphone app-accompanied wearable tech company unleashed its all-new ShotTracker team program, which is able to simultaneously track and count multiple players' shots attempted, made and missed.
Tech Times swung by ShotTracker's basketball court-equipped booth inside of the Sands in Las Vegas on Thursday, and the software touted impeccable responsiveness to not only shots missed or made, but their trajectory all the way to the hoop.
The new team app and program was a logical transition from the original individual player program, considering it could be used during a squad's practice or even as a competition between two teammates. Why not? Steel sharpens steel.
The way the technology under ShotTracker's new wearable tech team app works is each player on the team wears a small tracking tag on their sneakers, while using a ShotTracker-enabled Spalding smart basketball. Beforehand, users must set Wi-Fi tower points around the court.
From there, multiple players on a team could hoist up as many shots as they like, and ShotTracker will do like its name says and count all the shot attempts, misses and makes via a real-time shot chart. Its software also tracks metrics including time of possession, the amount of passes and assists and turnovers.
