We often talk about big data and analytics and how it will change the world. Among these technologies, real-time analytics technologies like complex event processing can provide near real-time analysis of the world, providing a more detailed view of the wold that's not visible to the naked eye. In this webinar, we use a data stream that has been collected from a real football game where boots and balls were equipped with sensors; these transmit the location, velocity and acceleration of each sensor in 60Hz and use complex event processing to calculate complex analytics like ball possession, successful and failed passes, offsides, etc. You can find the dashboard overlayed with the real football game in the clip below. Join us to learn about the design, challenges, and how those analytics were calculated.
