It’s a data-powered world out there—especially at the US Open. For over 25 years, IBM has collaborated with the U.S. Tennis Association to leverage data in rewarding ways for fans, coaches and players alike. This year, we’re demonstrating how these rewards extend far beyond the court. Our onsite experience at the Open shows not only how IBM technologies are being used to change the way fans experience tennis, but also how this same tech is applied to solve real world problems. Did you know Watson Visual Recognition can help identify players’ gestures during matches, as well as defects on a factory floor. Another Watson API, Sound Analysis, can derive insights from the intensity of crowd noise, and also detect wear-and-tear in elevators and train tracks. From the world of tennis to the world at large, IBM understands that well-wielded data can help unlock better experiences for all.
