The builders of the Cisco Field stadium for the Oakland A’s are considering adding interactive touchscreens to every seat. The goal will be to provide useful and interesting information to spectators. Users could access players’ stats right from their seat, and can get even practical information such as the driving routes out of the park. Other uses might include real-time information and services, such as finding out where the shortest bathroom lines are, and ordering some food and drink. Of course, the builders will have to take into account the possibility of vandalism, but that’s obviously part of their job.
