Re: Position Tracking Devices

Haha, I do think Ken is right. But, if you want to do some serious coding (It looks like the other solutions are starting to get that way), you could buy an infrared camera and track the blobs, assuming you intend to see how far they run, how faast they are, acceleration, etc.. Thirty thousand lines of code later, and you can glean whatever you want.

But seriously, if you want to know how far a player runs in a game, how about a cheap pedometer? Might seem like a cop-out, but is probably more attainable before the basketball season is over.
