We are using AI-powered cameras and wearable sensors to shape a new sports network called Smart Runners. Our vision is to bring together football players from all around the globe with professional clubs, academies, and legends of the game through the use of technology, data, and AI. We believe by implementing affordable technology, we can bridge the gap in data collection for various levels of th
e game, including grassroots, women's football, youth development, and small-sided football. By providing access to professional clubs, academies, and a global community, we hope to give players the tools they need to succeed and reach their full potential. We launched our SR Tunnel web application in the summer of 2023 to enable our partners (clubs, leagues, event organizers) who are already recording their games. SR Tunnel acts as a gateway to simply turn their full match recording into sharable moments and create match or player highlights to enhance their fan engagement on their own website (via direct web integration) or various social media channels. SR Tunnel also includes an API solution for enterprises and software companies that would use the categorized highlights from the games to enrich their apps or online services. Collecting games and players data has different levels, with video recording as the most important step. Next would be wearing fitness or heartrate trackers to complement the visual data. Then on our application we provide a platform for clubs to learn and improve their performance, and players to be seen & grow their careers based on verified data and a video-based resume' from their best moments and actions during their recorded matches. Computer Vision: our offline solution to enable underprivileged communities with limited access to internet to record and improve their game Blockchain: our decentralized vision for talent ID, fan engagement, borderless community, NFTs, and Web 3.0
