The NHL’s Big City Greens Classic was the sports industry’s very first live, animated alt-cast. The 2024 NHL All-Star Game was the very first full game to be rendered in 3D on Roblox, via the NHL Blast experience. Other ADVs (animated data visualizations) have popped up on regional sports networks, major cable studio shows and on YouTube.

The bedrock of these experiences is advanced tracking data, not only from SMT’s player and puck sensors but also from two Sony sports businesses: Hawk-Eye’s optical tracking cameras and Beyond Sports’ immersive visualization tech. That foundation is capable of unlocking so much more under the NHL and Sony’s new global technology partnership.

The goal for much of this innovation, NHL EVP David Lehanski said, is “to create new or custom content experiences that broaden and expand the overall fan base for the NHL.”

As the NHL-Sony relationship morphs from client-vendor to formal partners, that could expand to other divisions such as Sony PlayStation, Pictures and Music.

“Ultimately, what we hope to have done with the new partnership is provided a framework where we can not only take the best bits of what we work on today and optimize those and really supercharge those, but with the festivalization of sport and how content consumption is changing and how there’s new technologies to make the game quicker, fairer, safer, we can bring all of the Sony capabilities [together] and help elevate the NHL,” said Rufus Hack, CEO of Sony’s sports businesses.

“Festivalization” is the key word, denoting the broader understanding of how sports can be experienced as cultural entertainment beyond the competition. While Hawk-Eye will enhance the tracking tech and provide new performance analytics to the clubs and avid fans, the real play here is unlocking the entertainment value of the sports in new ways for those who identify as casual fans or not yet on-board.

By his ranking, Hack said Sony works with 23 of the top 25 global sports leagues, providing him with a macro view of the industry, and that “the NHL are the innovators. They’re always the first people to be really willing to walk the walk, as well as talk the talk around some of this stuff.”

“The ability to unlock the power of this data,” Hack continued, is what “we genuinely think is going to play to a lot of the contextual trends that we’re seeing in the sports industry, of types of sports consumption. And Dave and his team are willing to maybe have a slightly increased risk profile, versus some other leagues, to really try some of this stuff.”

With sub-second latency on the advanced data feeds, Hack said fans will be able to one day personalize their content and choreograph the ADV production from different viewpoints within a digital recreation.

Lehanski — a former SBJ Tech Executive of the Year — then took the idea further, adding, “At some point we want to put that customization in the hands of the fans so they can start to create their own version. So there’s a pathway toward that. There’s also a level of interactivity that can occur. How we can start to create digital environments where fans can not only customize what they see, but actually be a part of the experience as well?”

The three key components for this newfound content creation:

1. the infrastructure (such as the camera system)
2. the processing of data, video and audio
3. the distribution

Hack noted that NHL Hawk-Eye data is now processed in the cloud, granting ready access to “a mine of data” that can be applied to other media or betting opportunities. Lehanski said distribution remains the most underdeveloped part of the chain, but the goal is to explore how best to share these new digital experiences across a wide range of platforms.

Apple’s next-generation A20 chip, leveraging TSMC’s second-gen 2nm process (N2), will be smaller, more power-efficient, and positioned closer to its onboard memory, boosting performance and reducing power consumption for tasks like AI processing and high-end gaming.

Marcus Mendes for 9to5Mac:
‎

According to analyst Jeff Pu in a new report for GF Securities, the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and the long-rumored iPhone 18 Fold are expected to debut Apple’s A20 chip, built on TSMC’s second-gen 2nm process (N2).

But that’s only part of the story. The more interesting bit is how those chips will be assembled.

For the first time, Apple is set to adopt Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) packaging for its iPhone processors. WMCM allows different components, like the SoC and DRAM, to be integrated directly at the wafer level, before being diced into individual chips…

For Apple, this is a big leap in chip design, similar to when it adopted 3nm ahead of most of the industry. And for the broader mobile market, it suggests that technologies once reserved for data center GPUs and AI accelerators are making their way into smartphones.

PARIS, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Infosys (NSE: INFY), (BSE: INFY), (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, in partnership with the French Tennis Federation (FFT) today announced a powerful line-up of AI-first fan experiences for Roland-Garros 2025. Entering its seventh year as the official AI and Digital Innovation Partner, Infosys is leveraging its AI-first suite of offerings, Infosys Topaz, to apply agentic AI and generative AI to deliver immersive and interactive fan experiences that push the boundaries in sports technology.

The innovations for 2025 include:

By capturing every thrilling twist and turn, it delivers commentary that brings alive each moment. With player-specific point-of-views, point-by-point or game-level highlights, AI Commentary ensures a viewing experience that is both personal and engaging. The feature leverages out-of-the-box large language models (LLMs) to combine real-time analytics with agentic AI built on multi-agent orchestration.
• AI Stadium: Using advanced text-to-image generation to expand on the virtual reality fan zone concept, AI Stadium empowers fans to imagine their own 3D tennis arenas. With voice prompting, fans can create a range of environments from futuristic to nature-inspired in seconds, enabling rapid image generation optimised for VR spatial immersion.

• Generative AI Poster Challenge: New for this year, video generation elevates an experience to a new creative dimension. Using prompts like iconic French landmarks, art styles, and tennis motifs, fans can now generate short, AI-created videos. At the Infosys Fanzone in RG this year, fans can take it a step further by stepping into an immersive LED cube to experience their personalised posters come to life. Developed with responsible AI principles, this feature ensures safe, ethical exploration of generative AI possibilities and rewards winners with tickets and vouchers for Roland-Garros.

The AI innovations at Roland-Garros build on a journey of AI advancements by Infosys, incorporating machine learning and applied AI into properties like Match Centre, AI Videos & AI-Assisted Journalism. These continue to evolve with expanded feature sets to enhance player performance, fan engagement and tournament experiences.

Beyond tech innovations, Infosys is also collaborating with Fête le Mur (FLM), a charity partner of FFT, to support tech-enabled learning initiatives for underprivileged youth in Paris. As part of this, FLM will help develop tennis-related learning modules on Infosys Springboard, a digital learning platform which enables upskilling for digital inclusion and social impact. Courses will range from leadership and training to safeguarding for tennis camps and additional sports. A group of 60 students will be offered the chance to visit Roland-Garros and take part in AI and technology workshops led by Infosys experts. Additionally, the winner of a competition to identify the biggest Rafa fan will receive an exclusive two-day experience at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain.

Sumit Virmani, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Infosys said, “Sports has been witnessing a tech-fuelled transformation and at Infosys we are excited to be leading the charge for tennis!
