New Delhi: In the era of digitalisation, researchers are finding new and innovative ways to make big things, more comfortable and easily accessible, with the help of several methods, and the one thing that tops the list at the current space of time is the artificial intelligence, a.k.a AI.
Almost all aspects of our lives these days are touched by AI, in one way or another, and the field of sports is no different.
The field of sports is one of the best fields to experiment with AI, as it holds endless prospects for which AI-related solutions can be used.
From practice to training to viewing experience, AI has a newer and easier way to do everything that a sport has to offer.
Now, to make things even more interesting, many sports application developers are switching to a whole different way of sports experience with spatial computing.
Spatial computing in sports
There are many different and extensive uses of spatial computing in the sports industry. Spatial computing has completely changed how athletes train both mentally and physically. It may be used to create training programs that use VR technology to simulate game circumstances or to deliver real-time feedback using AR overlays during practice or competition.
Athletes can now frequently practise particular game scenarios in a controlled environment thanks to the growing accessibility of VR-based immersive training experiences. This improves their response speeds and helps them build muscle memory for maximum performance.
Athletes are better equipped to handle unforeseen circumstances that may arise during important races or matches when they can mimic different opponent strategies or environmental conditions. Conversely, augmented reality (AR) overlays digital data directly onto the real world, bringing real-time insights into training sessions.
Based on real-time monitoring of player motions monitored by cameras or sensors, coaches can give immediate feedback on tactical or technical changes. Athletes are equipped with practical insights during practice sessions thanks to this instant feedback loop, which can be very helpful in improving their talents.
Spatial computing for spectators
The benefits of spatial computing are not only restricted to the players but are also spread to the spectators.
One of the most innovative and upcoming companies in this field, Liveplex, has developed a whole new level of watching sports in the form of 3D VR viewing.
New era for the sports industry
It’s time for folks to really start looking at how spatial computing will change sports for ever.
What used to cost millions and take weeks, can now happen in real-time and cost close to nothing.

Their newest technology makes watching the sports from your living room, ever so exciting. From basketball to hockey to football to cricket, it can create a 3D hologram of any sport and will give you the choice of watching the game from any angle of your choice, also giving you a closer look at what is unfolding in the stadium.
However, the product is still a prototype and will take some time before making its official entry into the market.
