Optical tracking system recently renewed Premier League deal
Genius Sports’ Second Spectrum optical tracking technology has been validated by the FIFA Quality Programme for Electronic Performance and Tracking Systems.
The system was validated with a median latency of 0.859 seconds while achieving the highest possible positional accuracy marks across all evaluation categories.
Second Spectrum is used by the likes of the Premier League, EFL, MLS, NBA, and Danish Superliga to augment broadcasts as well as in performance analysis, sports science, automated officiating and brand activations.
Its recent renewal with the Premier League and EFL saw it add skeletal tracking to its offering, which could be used as part of metaverse applications, in addition to its live statistics and metrics including player speeds and shot velocities.
Jack Davison, chief commercial officer at Genius Sports, said: “For several years, our Second Spectrum system has been at the apex of innovations in tracking technology, capturing millions of team and player insights.
“We’re thrilled that our outstanding technology has been recognised by the FIFA Quality Programme for EPTS, showcasing to leagues, federations and clubs across world football they can trust in a system that will transform how their fans, coaches and players interact with every play.”
