Hardware: AI Tracker
The World's First AIoT Device Connecting Football with Web3.0
The AI Tracker is our cutting-edge AIoT sensor device, designed specifically for the football community. Over the past decade, football performance trackers were a privilege reserved only for elite teams. However, nurturing talent at the grassroots level remains a significant challenge, where access to such sophisticated wearable sports technology is often limited. Our AI Tracker stands out as one of a kind, offering high precision at an affordable price and ease of use, making it accessible to players at all levels.
Key Technologies & Features
1. Affordable High Precision
The AI Tracker employs nine-axis sensors, known for their high precision, components typically dedicated to military purposes, such as missile orientation correction and identification. We've effectively adapted this technology for the sports field, integrating it with our cutting-edge 3D motion capture technology to facilitate the precise capture and analysis of athletic movement data. This precision is made possible by integrating 9-axis raw data collected from three sensors, serving as the foundation of our tracking capabilities. Beyond simple data collection, our system employs a sophisticated blend of sensor fusion algorithms and deep learning algorithms. This combination meticulously reconstructs athletes' postures and positions within 3D space, offering a scientific approach to quantifying human movement. This integration yields a highly efficient, accurate, and cost-effective solution for sports monitoring and analytical needs, marking a notable leap forward in the field of Wearable Sports Technology.
2. Measuring Foot-to-Ball Interactions: Surpassing Familiar GPS Tracking
Position tracking in football for athlete monitoring is a standard practice, with most systems utilizing GPS technology integrated into sports vests. These systems provide coaches with numerous metrics, assisting in the evaluation of player performance and possibly reducing the risk of injuries. However, their effectiveness is constrained to favorable weather conditions and outdoor environments, and they fall short in tracking players' foot movements. The AI Tracker, as described, is a sensor-equipped device suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It overcomes this limitation by precisely capturing foot-to-ball interactions, offering deeper insights into player performance, thus bridging this gap.
Secured to the ankle with a silicone strap, it is ideally positioned to capture every movement on the field. The AI Tracker is capable of capturing more than 20 technical and physical data points across 6 metrics. This enables players to better understand their technical skills levels, such as touches and dribbling, alongside their physical capabilities, such as speed and agility, and more—offering a level of insight seldom found in market-available products.
3. Edge Computing Capabilities
The AI Tracker, at its core, is an AIoT device (Artificial Intelligence of Things). It will be enhanced with edge computing capabilities to ensure data privacy and security. By processing data directly on-site, it can also drastically reduce latency. This allows coaches and players to make informed decisions in real-time, and adjust strategies based on the latest data-driven insights. Additionally, the AI Tracker benefits from the self-learning capabilities of AI, which enable it to continuously improve its analysis by accessing and learning from historical performance data. Over time, this creates a more comprehensive view of each player's abilities and the team's overall strategy. This holistic approach to data collection and analysis not only enhances training and performance evaluation processes but also opens new avenues for injury prevention and game strategy optimization.
Generating data with the AI Tracker is just the first step; within the SoccerN ecosystem, you can fully reap the benefits of data！
