REINVENTING SPORT WITH VISION
from SiGMA Issue 17
by SiGMA Group
Representing the vanguard of deep tech in sports betting, ReSpo.Vision's CEO Pawel Osterreicher speaks to Kyle Galea on their use of cutting-edge technology to disrupt the athletic world and bring about a new age of sports gambling.
Today, the sports betting industry does not utilise the full power of available data and technology, which results in limited insights and suboptimal customer experience for a casual punter. It still has some brick-and-mortar feel to it: walls of texts, limited visuals and add-ons, very few insights, and no engaging content. ReSpo.Vision is here to change that.
As a Deep Tech company, we’re aiming to introduce the world of sports betting to the AI & Web3 era. Using bleeding-edge AI and computer vision algorithms to capture detailed 3D positional data (20+ players’ body parts in 3D) from any sporting event, we use this novel approach to revolutionise the betting and viewing experience for our clients. Our system captures 150 million data points per game, in real-time, and is more accurate than any multi-camera system or manual annotator, proving that AI-based systems aren’t just changing the game of business, they’re changing the world of sports.
AI-BASED SYSTEMS AREN’T JUST CHANGING THE GAME OF BUSINESS, THEY’RE CHANGING THE WORLD OF SPORTS.
ReSpo.Vision’s technology has significant potential to disrupt the gaming industry, as it allows us to automatically capture extremely detailed data on sporting events and turn that data into unique products that have been never seen before in the industry. Currently, we have two flagship products in our offering: 3D LIVE Game Tracker and Betting Hints.
RESPO.VISION’S TECHNOLOGY HAS SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL TO DISRUPT THE GAMING INDUSTRY, AS IT ALLOWS US TO AUTOMATICALLY CAPTURE EXTREMELY DETAILED DATA ON SPORTING EVENTS AND TURN THAT DATA INTO UNIQUE PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN THE INDUSTRY.
The 3D LIVE Game tracker is a step up from any of the current static game trackers available in the market. We are the only company in the world to be able to visualise a football game so close to the actual TV broadcast, giving sportsbooks and betting affiliates a very powerful customer engagement tool. We provide a next-gen match viewing experience of any live game from top European leagues, allowing the user to freely move the camera around the pitch and even watch the game from through the players’ eyes.
With Betting Hints, we are one of the first companies that combine traditional statistics, predictive analytics, and users’ behaviours analysis (all that using our proprietary AI-based selection engine), thus providing sportsbooks and betting affiliates with highly relevant insights that stimulate punters to place more and higherstake bets. Instead of browsing through thousands of available bets, the user is prompted with a short selection of bets, carefully crafted and picked according to his unique profile and preferences. All of this, in multiple language versions, covers a wide variety of markets in many popular sports.
If you are a virtual games provider, we have got you covered as well. With our extremely detailed positional data and player models, extracted from tens of thousands of historical matches, you can enrich your game engine with the natural motion of any human player. This will make your game look and feel as natural as in a real broadcast, including all players’ signature moves and dribbles!
Our unique data acquisition capabilities help our customers from the sports betting industry drive customer engagement, maximise retention, and increase acquisition. Our data, insights, and visualisations make people feel more informed, engaged and provide a rationale for betting decisions.
In summary, we build sportsbook solutions at the forefront of the AI / Web3 revolution.
THE DATA REVOLUTION IN SPORTS IS LONG OVERDUE. IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO WATCH THE GOAL REPLAY THROUGH THE EYES OF THE GOALSCORER. WELL THAT’S BASICALLY WHAT WE DO, THANKS TO DEEP LEARNING & COMPUTER VISION.
WE ALSO PLAN TO ENSURE THAT THE INDUSTRY ACTS AS A TOOL TO IMPROVE THE WELLBEING OF THE MALTESE PEOPLE IN A WAY THAT GOES BEYOND SIMPLE CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
