According to Pepe, the information received from the sensor is converted to light at a rate of 240 times per second, so it is very accurate to reflect the activities of the players. These LED lights will become a digital pen, the use of slow motion photography, as well as time-lapse exposure photography will be able to visualize the light, showing the flexibility of the athlete's body.

A member of the team is a group of excellent athletes.
