Over at The Football,
Select Manchester City fans will be offered a “smart scarf” next season, the latest in wearable technology that sees a biometric sensor integrated into the fabric to monitor emotional, physiological and movement data. Using an EmotiBit bio sensor that sits discreetly on the neck, The Connected Scarf, as it has been snappily dubbed, captures the body’s bio-signals throughout a match.
It also records a range of physiological measures, including heart rate, body temperature and emotional responses, offering information on how fans feel at different moments.
Engineers are working on a version for Liverpool fans, where sensors have reduced sensitivity to avoid signal overload.
