Inspiration

We noticed that many concerts and sporting events use a lot of wasteful products to try and improve engagement among fans; also, these products may be wasteful and our team figured a more impactful and sustainable solution to fan engagement could be created using technology.

What it does

FANSYNC connects and coordinates fans from around a stadium by displaying intricate graphics on a user's phone. When a ticket is scanned, the application is able to pinpoint the location of a fan in the venue and turn the stadium into a beautiful cheering artwork.

How we built it

Video processing was done using python and the OpenCV library. Demo was created with react js.

Challenges we ran into

Assembly AI was tough to use but we're glad we were exposed to new technology

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Created a working demo showing a portion of Scotiabank arena. It was our first time using a lot of the technology here so it was very fulfilling when we got FanSync to actually Sync.

What we learned

It was many of our group member's first time using many of the technologies and so we learned a lot!

What's next for FANSYNC

We would like to add live cheering functionality to the application using Assembly AI, and also implement location tracking for venues that don't have assigned seating.
