Unprecedented speed in offside decisions
Instant offside alerts
We’ve trained machines to analyse billions of optical tracking data points every millisecond of every game, flagging potential offsides in real-time.
Instant decision making
Complete automation of camera angle and kick point detection - and no need to manually draw offside lines - vastly increases decision speed.
Instant clarity
Broadcast and stadium-ready graphics are produced in an instant, giving the best possible experience for fans.
Seeing and understanding every angle
High-resolution iPhone cameras, powered by GeniusIQ, record up to 10,000 surface data points per player, per second, throughout the game. This data capture, known as mesh tracking, is fully automated and recreates every on-field event in an ultra-accurate, 3D render.

"Our fans deserve to be provided with decisions that are both accurate and fast, and SAOT is already having a major impact across our league. It significantly reduces the time it takes to make even the most marginal offside decisions, helping to restore the natural flow of our games."
Genius Sports’ SAOT is underpinned by optical tracking technology. This technology relies upon a system of 30 cameras installed in every stadium, which capture up to 10,000 surface data points on each player, multiple times per second.
Our large-scale data and AI platform, GeniusIQ, applies machine learning (a complex form of AI) to this mass of data.
This combination of data capture and analysis automates the SAOT process.
