Designing training games for soccer

Advancements in wearable and ubiquitous computing have exposed the interaction design community to a new perspective on sports. Football Lab is a public interactive soccer-training system created in cooperation with a Danish soccer academy and Munin Sports, a company that manufactures soccer-training equipment. Four rebounding surfaces, called M-stations are positioned at the center of each of the four sides of the playing field. The M-stations consist of a large frame strung with wire, similar to a tennis racquet, capable of returning a ball with 95 percent of its mostly on sound cues.
