Awesome. Simply awesome. Wish we could have kept this thing a secret for at least a couple of seasons.
 I realize they would have to figure out a way to incorporate a moving reference point, which seems possible given the minds at work, but I can see this having a big impact in Basketball, volleyball and soccer as well.
Imagine a talented kid who starts training with this in high school, then give him/her his school's version the first summer. Learn the playbook? Check. Learn defenses? Check. Learn the increased speed of the game? Check. Now think Andrew Luck. Starting his true freshman year, maybe at the level he attained by year 3. Why, with one of these even I could have . . . No, wait, that is ridiculous.

Big ups to Derek Belch. Not bad for a walk on kicker to go on to secure the 24-23 "greatest upset of all time" and then this.

...but I hope they tell Kal to suck on it when the call comes from Berkeley.
I'd like to see a documentary done on this, at least one that shows the virtual reality matched with a real reality of the formations and the play.

Very cool! Great article, on several levels, which should be sent to all our recruits! First, I'd send it to K.J. Costello....then, second, to Jacob Eason, along with an offer! :-)

Yes, but one of them makes a valid point that stood out to me immediately: where the Hell is Plunkett's in that collage? Brodie is there so it's not focused on recent stars.

You'll notice Elway is missing too. And that's because it's only part of the collage. I haven't been, but I've seen pictures, that's like half of it.

Michael Manuccia, the FBI agent cum Wharton MBA grad, mentioned in the article was one of my first friends. I've know him since we were 5 years old. I knew Derek growing up through Michael. Two very smart dudes who will take this thing far.
I'm very bummed that I have no money to throw at them.

IIRC, the first public precursor to the glove was debuted during a game at ASU, during the Buddy years. It looked like a Van de Graaff generator with a hand cutout on top, sort of like a prop from the original Total Recall movie. The announcers were beaming over how the device could neutralize the Arizona mid-day heat, as I think the game started at 12:30pm.
We lost by a score that was something like 62-24.

When Stanford suddenly transformed itself into a potent offense after the Utah debacle - to reel off three straight impressive offensive performances - there were a few theories as to what caused the sudden turnaround. Most I believe centered around the OL finally gelling.
To read this article, it makes quite a strong case that the VR machine was the real reason for the turnaround, and nobody talked about this as a reason at the time. Does this mean that if it was available from game one, Stanford might have been in the playoff and not Oregon? Was the OL really not the problem? Was the frustration vented about predictable pay calling and terrible execution more a product of Hogan not calling the right plays or more importantly, not getting out of bad ones?
And I guess more to the point, what will having this technology available for the whole off-season mean for the offensive outlook in 2015, when there is a premium on great offensive production given the expected fall-off on defense? Is it possible that this VR tool can save Stanford's season and give it a material advantage over its opponents in 2015?

I hope we don't have to wait that long.

Those guys have constantly amaze me at how they draw conclusions from limited information. Brennan Scarlett is transferring from Haas so he must be going to GSB! Plunkett is missing from the angle of one collage shown in an article about Stanford so he must be on the outs with Stanford! It amazes me they really believe that stuff.
So dumb.
Could the turn around
