AI-powered multimedia will provide tournament journalists and broadcasters with social media-optimised assets for match reporting. 

Roland-Garros 3D digital museum

Infosys and the French Tennis Federation have partnered to deliver 3D, AI, and cloud tools designed to bridge the gap between remote fans and Roland-Garros.

The innovations include a first-of-its-kind 3D digital art museum immersing remote visitors in the spirit and 41-year history of the Roland-Garros tournament, AI-powered match analysis enabling players and coaches to make better-informed training decisions and optimise match strategy, and AI-powered multimedia providing tournament journalists and broadcasters with unique and social media-optimised assets for match reporting. 

Infosys’ Match Centre is also available in an immersive 3D format with data-driven courtside views, while the Match Centre in the Roland-Garros app delivers a mobile-first data visualization experience. Commentary and insights via AI-powered voice assistants will also be made available to app users through popular smart home devices, including access to match schedules, live radio broadcasts, event podcasts, and a roundup of the day’s events.

Infosys’ AI Highlights solution will also be available to a number of official broadcasters. The solution includes analysis and identification of key, shareable moments such as post-match player camaraderie and signatures on camera, while also dynamically resizing videos with AI to produce ready-to-publish clips for different social platforms that require specific aspect ratios. 

Pravin Rao, chief operating officer, Infosys, says, “As the official Digital Innovation Partner for Roland-Garros, we have innovated to ensure the digital experiences we create are truly human experiences. This year, we are proud to have leveraged digital technologies in ways that truly immerse remote audiences into the full tournament experience.

“Through AI and 3D technologies we now have the potential to revolutionise the ways in which coaches and players train, and can ensure that fans, players, and coaches remain as close to the game as possible. We continue to find breakthroughs as we evolve the role of data, AI and digital in sport, and I look forward to what the future holds.”
