"they're said to travel about 30 mph" ... I'm underwhelmed. Cop still has to chase, fast enough so the dart can catch up. Couldn't they fire a dart any faster than 30 mph (= 44 fps) ?
TFA mentioned Kansas (where I sit typing this comment) as potentially losing its importance (such as it is) in college football. If it turns out that way, it won't just be disappointing for the KU football program;…
I don't think so. Light travels about 1 foot/nanosecond, so the travel time from monitor to eyeball is 1 or 2 nanoseconds, which might be 2 or 3 clock cycles. So I think at most 3 operations per CPU.
