After outfitting its technology for a professional soccer team in Germany, PlaySight is expanding its suite of autonomous scouting and coaching tools across the soccer industry.
At the Soccerex convention last month, PlaySight co-founder and CEO Chen Shachar pitched the company’s newest cloud-based video technology, SmartField, to European football clubs as a way to “maximize performance” through real-time 4K video and analysis tools.
With its infrastructure permanently installed at training facilities or on fields, PlaySight offers automatic filming from multiple angle camera views. It also provides instant replay, which enables coaches to go over an athlete’s performance during practice or games (think during halftime or water breaks).
