Pretext

SPÅT is a cutting-edge sports data integration web application, collaboratively developed by the SPÅT company and the SPÅTIFY team at the University of Turku. Utilizing real-time data from progressive Ultra-Wideband (UWB) tracking technology, the app effectively displays and manages the athletic statistics of players during matches and training sessions.

Key Features

Football coaches and players are offered:

• Familiar and intuitive game-like user experience
• Live data representation
• Post-session reports
• Player database management

Implementation

Firstly, SPÅT’s appearance is designed in Figma. We created a fresh and multi-device compatible user interface for the website.

To develop the front-end, we utilize React and Typescript. Additionally, the team integrates the front-end with the existing back-end, responsible by company Interjektio.

Throughout the process, we continuously test the product, conduct interviews, and gather feedback. Thanks to this, more ideas were generated.

Result & Future Development

SPÅT has received favorable feedback for the developed features from coaches, as well as garnered numerous positive hands-on responses from the jury and walk-ins during the ICT showroom. Furthermore, adjustments have been made in response to constructive suggestions.

This promising project currently focuses on football, emphasizing youth training. The next steps include:

• Perfecting the application when the back-end limitation from third party is removed
• Further discovering extensive data for more valuable features

In the future, the application aims to expand its scope to include other team sports.
