AI, IoT, & Cloud Computing on display in Accenture's soccer simulation

To address the client’s need for a real-time, data-driven demonstration of their solutions, we designed a soccer simulation that utilised advanced technologies like IoT, AI, machine learning, and cloud computing.   

We embedded IoT sensors into a soccer ball and strategically placed additional sensors around the room to capture key data points during gameplay. A virtual soccer field and goal post were projected, with players selecting a goalkeeper based on real-world statistics. These stats were incorporated into the virtual goalkeeper, adding a layer of realism.   

When the player kicked the ball, the sensors captured data such as spin, speed, and trajectory. This information was processed instantly using edge computing, with the data sent to the cloud for further analysis. The player’s performance stats were then displayed on the screen in real time.   

This solution effectively demonstrated how Accenture’s technology could process and analyse real-time data, offering clients a tangible example of its potential to deliver actionable insights and enhance decision-making.
