1
Peripheral Labs
Country: Canada | Funding: $3.6M
Peripheral Labs is incorporating spatial intelligence into live sports broadcasts. Its technology generates volumetric video that allows users to view the game from multiple angles, creating an immersive experience. The system reduces the number of cameras from over 100 to just 32 standard ones, helping to reduce costs and operational expenses. It can allow broadcasters and fans to explore new ways to control their viewing experience using photorealistic 3D reconstruction technology. For example, if fans want to track only the player with the ball, they can do so. They can also freeze the action to see different angles of a foul or critical moment. The system also measures player biomechanics and generates statistics for teams and leagues using a proprietary set of sensors, similar to those in self-driving cars that capture the scene with depth.
