Muithu: Smaller footprint, potentially larger imprint

We describe our experience with the Muithu sports notational analysis system, a novel digital information system in the popular sports domain. The system integrates real-time coach notations with related video sequences, and is configured with small, off-the-shelf and cheap components. Muithu requires little or no human post-processing, which is in strong contrast to state of the art resource-intensive competing systems. Muithu also provides a novel social network for athletes and their coaches for information management and interactive e-learning experiences based on video footage. This next generation notational analysis system is already in operational use by a Norwegian elite soccer club, both for training and game events.
