This one's for college football fanatics: Near-instantaneous replays of your favorite moments
If you're a fanatic for college football and still can’t get enough of your favorite sport, there's now an app for that: You can get every big play from your alma mater’s football team delivered to your smartphone or tablet mere seconds after it happens. Thanks to Lewis Bakes, CEO of LiveClips, you won't miss another Hail Mary or 90-yard interception return for a touchdown ever again.
“LiveClips provides fans with the ability to view what they want, when they want, where they want, within seconds of the live action,” explains Bakes. “The beauty of the technology is that it is completely automated and requires no human interaction. [LiveClips] creates a clip of every play of every game. Each clip has a text description that is created as a result of computer vision and artificial intelligence, and each clip is searchable.”
Simply put, LiveClips is an innovator in the delivery of video content from live sporting events. Their "black box" technology combines artificial intelligence with state-of-the-art recognition software to capture and digitize the games as they happen. This technology is now powering ESPN's In-Game Video Highlight Alerts through the ESPN BowlBound app and the ESPN Mobile app. (Both apps are free and available for the iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android markets.)
So you choose the games you want to follow, getting instant clips of the big plays delivered right after they happen to your smartphone, tablet, or, if you prefer, to your PC. LiveClips also allows you to share this content with your friends via Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks.
And if you’re not a college football fan but crave video content from other sports, don’t worry. “We currently have the capacity to provide our services for pro football, basketball, baseball, and soccer [Note: these sports are not currently available as apps]. We are talking to broadcasters and leagues about providing our services for each of those disciplines as we speak." Though LiveClips is focused on sports, the technology could soon expand into entertainment and news as well.
