Four Major Sports Technology Trends
  • Quantitative Data

    Wearable devices such as smart watches and smart bracelets can now provide useful information and statistics, by analyzing data collected from built-in accelerometers, gyroscopes and other sensors.

  • Virtual/Physical Integration

    Virtual/physical integration technology enhances athletic experiences, such accessing online road maps for real-world running, or experiencing 3D rides as an avatar on a bicycle cycling alongside other athletes from around the world.

  • Home Fitness

    Home fitness is one of the latest trends in sports. Consumers can purchase sports and fitness commodities online and have them delivered to their homes to enjoy workouts, rain or shine.

  • Gamification and Virtual Social Networking

    Excellent coaches, interactive screens, elastic cushioned mats and walls made of pressure-sensitive materials, LED lights, and sound effects are just some of the latest innovations in this field. Heartbeat and training data can be recorded throughout workout sessions, and game modes with sound and light effects make highly repetitive exercise movements interesting and motivational.

A variety of LED headlights are currently available for use in vehicles. However, optical distribution expertise was not utilized in altering their design from a halogen bulb structure to an LED structure, which led these lights to fail to meet governing regulations as well as the requirements of the original car makers. On the contrary ADI Optics, has developed b-beam lamps whose spatial distribution meet regulatory requirements regardless of the light fixture they are used in.With its unconventional light source designs, ADI Optics’ patented LED motor vehicle headlight lamps comply with optical and thermal dissipation requirements as well as structural and regulatory ones. Its product structure combines high and low beams into one optical design and adheres to ECE R112 regulations. The low beams remain on and bright when the driver turns on the high beams, while the center of the low beams compensates emittance for brightness to avoid driving hazards due to poor road lighting.
