The Tru-Spot AR Fan (App) was created to revolutionize the football industry. It will be utilized as a distance measurement system at an American Football game. Our app uses machine learning, visual recognition algorithms, and a visual positioning service used indoors/outdoors for purposes of establishing yardage measurement in a football game. The location and measurement technologies used in conjunction with a mobile application device for displaying measurement results. Presently chained yardage and down markers are used to estimate the "Spotting" of a football during gameplay. The final location or placement of the football left up to the official's decision, which oftentimes is a judgment call. This method of measurement is archaic and very much outdated. However, with the Tru-Spot (App), the margin for error is reduced. The "Spotting" of football determined by taking into consideration the length of the football field and current position/placement of the football and using AR/AI/VPS/GPS technology.

The digitized measurement results are displayed with a lighted display (for achieving first down), and a separate light display for not completing the first down. The scanned display will also reveal - shortage distance (ex -1.00” -7” -.001”) for distance short of first down. The results are also simultaneously displayed on the stadium scoreboard for fans, and the Tru-Spot “Home-team Football App” on mobile phones and smart devices.

The spot measurement still maintains the high integrity of the game and mostly controlled by the official. Allows an official or designated individual to conduct a close-up spot measurement of the football using a handheld mobile device, chest-mounted device, or a device mounted to a SkyCam.
