Norwich City are set to become the first football club in England to install the futuristic SoccerBot360 simulator at their training ground.
Costing £750,000, the German-made technology features a circular pitch surrounded by video walls onto which a series of projectors beam simulations of match scenarios.
A player stands in the centre and makes passes towards the video wall with a football, which bounces back at them, developing reaction speed and decision-making.
Players stand on a grass pitch surrounded by a 360 degree video wall onto which training simulations are projected
The screens can be used to project realistic player-view simulations of scenarios within matches for tactical analysis
The idea is to replicate the exact conditions of a match, when players have to process the quick movements of team-mates and opponents before making the correct pass.
