Neil recently chatted with Dr. Jim Kovach, Vice President of Business Development for CrowdOptic, whose technology solution allows for live streaming video from wearable devices. Kovach talked about the origins of the technology, how it has been (and can be) leveraged by sports teams and media entities, and an intriguing role it could play in determining the value of content placement and timing in a venue.
As Kovach noted, CrowdOptic’s technology has major use cases in the medical and security fields, as well, but sports is one of their primary areas of focus for immediate growth. The innovative company is indeed reaching an inflection point with their business and technology, and Neil and Jim talk about where streaming video from wearables currently is, where it’s going, and some of the important marketing and legal issues to consider along the way.
