Australian rugby league fans could see how fast and active each player was during the game

Sports teams have used wearable sensors in training for several years as a way of tracking player development and fitness. But now live streaming of such data during matches and races is ushering in a new era of fan involvement.

For the rugby stars lining up for the opening clash of Australia’s annual State of Origin series in May, this was a game of firsts.

For the first time ever in rugby league, the first time in Australian sport, and the first time in a stadium of more than 50,000 spectators, players would have their data streamed live so fans could track every aspect of their performance in unprecedented detail.
