The Kasten Gym, Marquette’s practice basketball court in the Al McGuire Center, was filled with more than just players and coaches Oct. 6.
Associate professor in exercise science Kristof Kipp and his team of five graduate students position equipment around the court.
They arrange eight tiny Sony digital cameras on tripods surrounding the court. Players show up and begin shooting. Kipp and his team just press a button to record.
It’s similar to using an iPhone.
Back at their office or, as Kipp jokes, the “nerdery,” they run it through the computing system. When it’s processing, Kipp said it sounds like an airplane taking off.
