When it's game time, all eyes are on the players, but these creative sports courts and fields may just steal the show. Although most people are familiar with the way a soccer field, a baseball diamond or a tennis court look, these designs breathe new life into them.
Some of the easiest ways to turn a basic playing area into something high-tech include forming a court with digitally projected lines or highlighting it with LED lights. Since these kinds of recreational spaces require a lot of movement, rather than making a field or a court in full-scale, some of these examples include ones that are scaled down just for hands or fingers, rather than the whole body, making it possible to play a quick game of finger soccer without the messy grass stains.
