Radio Frequency identification systems have stood the test of time from a variety of sectors such as military, healthcare, animal farms, library, businesses, etc since many decades. It is the most efficient and time tested technology that is hard to live by for many people. The next thing that RFID’s are going to conquer are the various sports like racing, football, volley ball, golf, tennis, athletics or any another sport that involves tracking something at real time. But RFID is not something that one expects to see in sports. But looking at the competition levels, sometimes a winner and looser are determines in the one tenth of a second or much lessor. Hence it is important that sports get a more accurate and cheap mode to tracking these times.
Radio Frequency identification systems can offer accurate timings about hundred percent of the time that it is used. When compiling other technologies, Radio Frequency identification is more reliable than any other time tracking device available. It can also let you know distances and time differences between competitors rapidly which can be displayed on a cellphone in real time. Radio Frequency identification technology can be included into any sport or game as small as a poker, carom or as big as football, swimming, etc. A poker table with RFID tags included in each card also has been built that can find what cards does a person have in real time and help a viewer to enjoy a game. RFID tags are so thin that their attachment to cards does not affect their handling. Hence RFID tags can help in increasing the viewer’s entertainment value as well as making the sport more transparent and much more effective. When and if they will ever be included into sports is up to the decision makers in sports.
