The future of sports

Many organisations within the sports sector are using the Internet of Things (IoT) to deliver breakthrough results by using innovative methods to further player performance and better engage fans.

In the era of the smart stadium, IoT is also being used to provide the ultimate fan experience. Now, audiences can engage with their favourite teams and players like never before and experience real-time personalisation. All while organisations make more revenue.

Organisations can now improve player performance and prevent player injury, with advanced analytics, sensors, and video playback to better understand how each individual player works, deliver personalised training. This all supports athletes in maintaining good health and fitness.

The future of entertainment

Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), the entertainment sector is being transformed with new ways to create, deliver, and consume content. Not only is IoT improving user experiences but it’s used to provide personalised experiences, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.     

For example, by creating immersive entertainment experiences optimised to users’ preferences and embedded with targeted advertising, IoT is helping increase consumer engagement, promote content consumption, and increase conversion rates.

With IoT in the entertainment sector, organisations can create better content, improve customer experiences, and improve efficiency across the board.
