Stick to the Puck

Hockey goalies’ hand-eye coordination must be phenomenal to react to full-speed puck action in the midst of a scramble of players. Professor Joan Vickers has led research at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, to discover just where the athletes focus in the critical seconds before reacting. In hockey, they concentrate on the physical interface between the puck and the stick that strikes it. Vickers’ lab has developed a vision-in-action system to record the movement of athletes’ eyes to within milliseconds as well as the direction of their gaze. The setup for this study comprised...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
