Collisions for science
A handful of Virginia Tech football players will hit the field this year with wireless transmitters in their helmets designed to measure the impact the players undergo during the course of a game. The helmet sensors will transmit the information using the unlicensed 900 MHz spectrum band to computers on the sidelines. The collected information is expected to be used to start a nationwide database intended to help sports teams reduce concussions and other head injuries.
