They can track an athlete\u2019s location with GPS, and their speed with accelerometers. They even use 3D vision and sophisticated image capture technology. But there\u2019s always a catch: the conditions need to be just right. \u201cMany existing sensors don\u2019t work well when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
