Tech-Enriched Sports Equipment : GOAL concept
The ‘GOAL’ concept has been designed by Yewon Lee as a playful sports equipment solution that embraces technology to balance the offline world with the online one. The system consists of two main components including a base with a projector and a speaker alongside a smart ball that work together to immerse users in a wide range of activities. The system can be activated by kicking, rolling or shaking the ball, which will trigger projections to be displayed including targets to aim for, animations to interact with and more.
The ‘GOAL’ concept identifies how we could see toys evolve into the near-future as a means of bridging the disconnect between children who have grown up using technology, but need analog activities for further stimulation.
