20 commentsOne thing I found odd was that the default/main screen in the app is a feed. That feed is just short videos without any of the game data the app captures. Perhaps an overlay would showoff the app as well as the skills. The videos by themselves don't add much differentiated value.
Also any plans to make it work from camera footage e.g. A 360 camera that can capture the whole court at once instead of syncing?
Care to share any technical details about how your analysis pipeline works? :)
