(audience roaring distantly)
- If you think about one possession
in a basketball game,
there are all kinds of
things going on at once
that the average fan can't watch.
- You know, pick and rolls,
ball screens, passes,
down screens.
- There's an infinite amount
of data that could transpire
in 24 seconds.
- It's much more
than the human eye can actually see.
- As sports fans, we want
all that information,
and I think we're just now seeing tech
that is going to make that possible.
For years data processing
has always been done
by centrally managed,
centrally owned big machines.
So today we have a lot of
applications that are running
in the cloud.
- Now we're talking about just
simply collecting data closer
to the source of where
that data comes from.
There are chips and sensors
and cameras all over the place,
and they are sharing views, angles, data
with everyone involved.
- Our smart phones are part of the edge.
Our vehicles are part of the edge.
The ability to process that data,
at the source or very closer
to where it's collected,
gives us incredible possibilities.
- You're going to get
information and experiences
that you can't get today.
- One area that's going to be big
is how we consume sports.
- Why do we go see live sports?
- The idea that you could
bring people together
and be a part of something
bigger than yourself.
That's what sports does,
and that's why we love it.
- Every major sports
league is thinking about
how can we improve the
experience and make it enticing
to come to our area or our ballpark?
- You'll find an incredible
array of edge-based technology
at the new Golden State Warriors arena.
- Leveraging our partnership with HPE,
we were able to design the technology
to enhance the experience
for our fans and guests.
I want to get to a point
where everything is rolled out for you.
- In the future,
I walk through the turn
style without a ticket,
something scans my face.
- The doors open because
they know who you are.
- So I pull out my phone,
it directs me to where I should go.
Along the way, it alerts me
that my IPA is ready to go,
because that's my favorite beer,
and I know which lines
have the shortest lines,
which bathrooms have
the lowest wait times.
So I'm planning out my experience
so that I can be focused on the game.
- I mean no fan goes to
game thinking I can't wait
to engage with the tech
at the stadium tonight.
But ideally, when tech works,
it just works seamlessly.
Everyone in the stadium has a phone.
Your mobile device is a
decentralized point of access.
- You've got all this
information coming at you.
Data now is going to allow
us to see that possession
as if you're an expert.
What's the hydration
level of that athlete?
Where's there heart rate?
- Exactly how fast was that pass?
- What's the probability
of them making that shot?
- Imagine a scenario where
you've got ten seconds left,
you know somebodies
going to shoot the ball,
and when that person takes that shot,
maybe you have something on your phone
that's actually allowing
you to toggle, make or miss.
- For the people in the living room,
there's probably a way
to bring the flying sweat
and the sneaker squeaks a
little bit closer to home.
To make that experience
feel a little bit more
like they're there.
You can imagine a case
where people might pick
from a different set
of visual experiences,
even a player cam.
We're gonna watch the
game from his perspective.
The reality is everything is the edge.
It's the physical world that
we live in and interact in.
Any self-guided vehicle will require
extensive edge processing.
The ability to perform remote surgery
requires edge processing.
- At its best, the tech
should be additive.
It should enhance our experience,
and not just for sports,
for every aspect of our lives.
- Edge technology will be a game changer.
