There’s a mission within the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, which owns the Utah Jazz and Vivint Smart Home Arena, among other sports and entertainment properties.
Enrich people’s lives.
With that in mind, Josh Barney — Director of Technology & Innovation for Vivint Smart Home Arena — told SportTechie he has tasked himself with discovering technologies that will “help make people’s experience better when they come see a Jazz game or come to the arena.”
Over the course of the 2016-17 season, Barney said he saw a fan at an Indianapolis Colts game wearing eyeglasses provided by eSight, a company that has a high-speed, high-definition camera that magnifies what a fan is viewing and brings it to life in front of their eyes.
