Today, technology is an integral part of the sports landscape. In fact, it’s become so ingrained in American sports that data and algorithms are part of pretty much every broadcast and in every locker room.
Technology is now used to predict win probability, analyze launch angles of home runs, and track shot charts of NBA superstars. But technology isn’t just used to build a better viewing experience. It is also being dropped into the hands of coaches to do things like perfect a runner's stride and track every moment from the beginning of a sprint to the final lunge across the finish line.
On this episode of Blazing Trails, we feature a conversation from the IT Visionaries podcast with guest Johnathan Lee. Johnathan is the director of sports performance technology for the Olympic technology group at Intel, and today, he talks about how his department worked to enhance 3D tracking technology ahead of the 2021 Olympic games in Tokyo. Plus, he dives into the countless other applications for these types of algorithms and data.
