I heard about this several months ago that a QB camp was using this technology but I haven't seen it in person yet. Apparently Indiana University is already using it.
The football team has already gotten a chance to experiment with the technology in practice through a process head coach Kevin Wilson calls "flashcarding."
In the drill, players see brief clips of plays and are able to read the play as they would in practice without actually being out on the field with teammates. Cameras have the potential to be set up anywhere from next to the quarterback to beside defensive ends and even at center.
"What we're trying to do with it is create plays," Wilson said. "It's intriguing. The kids like it."
Sudfeld is already working with the technology at practice.
While wearing the virtual reality goggles, Sudfeld can view film while holding a joystick allowing him to fast forward, rewind and pause plays from his view at quarterback.
Sudfeld said the best part about the technology is being able to see other formations in real time and getting the chance to read what is coming. He added that the video will only become more helpful as the technology progresses and the videos are logged.
"I am really able to play the play without getting dressed up in pads, so that is really cool," Sudfeld said. "You just can't simulate how fast guys are coming up on you or how fast windows close. You'll get everything there is about playing quarterback except getting hit, which is also an important part of the game, but I think it is tremendous."
