First Down Laser Systems, LLC

First Down Laser System Demo - Our First Down Laser Line is to replace the cumbersome implements of the chain gang as well as the computer generated "yellow line" seen during the broadcast of a football game. Unlike the imaginary yellow line, our "Green Line" can be seen from anywhere in the stadium. It is to be controlled by the officials as the official guideline on which all line calls are based. Our line can be filmed, providing both the officials and the home viewer with an accurate instant replay.

Our "Green Line" provides the players with a visible goal, preventing the fumbles and injuries that often occur when a player's attention is turned toward the sidelined first down markers. When presented with a real goal, players are driven to play harder, giving their fans a more exciting performance.

"The First Down Green Laser Line system includes first down and goal line indicators that are triggered by the ball crossing the plane of the visible first down line or the goal line."

No problem it's human proof, no foot or players eye can block or see the laser is comes from above and is programmed to eliminate those possibilities.

That's a neat idea but I can see some problems with it... It only takes a misplaced foot to block the laser. This could be fixed by transmitting the laser from above the field. Also another issue is that something reflective may shine the laser into a player's eyes or it may be overly distracting to the players.
