When Alabama and Clemson take the field for today’s College Football Playoff national championship game, they will both likely have a host of sports science and technology information and hardware to thank for the fact their 2018 seasons have run longer than any other college teams. One device they share in common is a vision training system made by Senaptec.
The Tide and Tigers use Senaptec’s Sensory Station, which features a large touchscreen that tests various skills such as hand-eye coordination, object tracking, and dynamic vision through a user tracking and responding to moving lights. The system can also test responses at a distance, mimicking the distance vision requirements of sports, with the user controlling it through a mobile device.
