GIS for football
11-20, 16:00–16:05 (Pacific/Auckland), WG403

It can be a hard problem for casual community football groups to line-mark the outline of a football pitch rapidly and dynamically, in varying temporary locations and sizes, on public grounds. Can GIS fix it?


This will be a demonstration of a prototype mobile tool for generating football pitch geometries dynamically on location, that allows casual community football groups to make temporary line markings easily and accurately when combined with a suitable consumer-grade mobile location device.
