CTRUS, soccer ball fluorescent


JABULANI, the ball will be use in 2010 World Cup at South Africa officially. Which, hear indistinctly come to that be round ball most in the world

Although JABULANI might round ball most in the world. But, if come to meet this ball might want to kick more and more. Because, it is both of pretty balls and can shine, how is it can?

The football has designed called "CTRUS". It’s a see-through soccer ball that imitates the bounce of an inflated pneumatic soccer ball, but without losing the air, giving transparency to the game of soccer.

CTRUS' functional principle is based on the mechanical properties of its materials, it is composes an inner structure (skelle-core) and an outer net-embedded shell, which is carved out of reinforced elastomer to make it more flexible in comparison to regular soccer balls. The hybrid soccer ball comes integrated with an interactive detection system that communicating wirelessly with control stations at the stadium changes its color to display the critical game situations, such as goal, offside, kick force, travel speed and if the ball is over the goal line or outside the field of play, via a GPS/RFID inner light.

CTRUS, now referees will have a closer look on the game to prevent controversial decisions. Check out more images as well as the videos after the jump.

CTRUS provides added functionality controlled by the electronic components in its nucleus
Which communicate wirelessly with control stations at the stadium:
- Inner light, color changes at critical game situations (goal, offside and out of bounds).
- Recording of kick force and travel speed.
- Location of the ball relative to the court (interactive detection system via GPS / RFID).
- P.O.V. camera footage (software stabilized image).
