Sports Data Firm Stats Perform Debuts 'Opta Graphics'

Sports data specialist Stats Perform has launched a multimedia tool called Opta Graphics, which uses AI-powered data and insights to produce visuals.

Stats Perform collects sports data and uses AI to uncover insights for media and technology companies, betting services and to enhance team performance. Its new Opta Graphics platform uses nearly 40 years of data collection expertise and AI metrics to pinpoint additional sponsorship revenue opportunities. The platform supports high-resolution player and team images, videos and GIFs, which are matched with sports data and insights. Customizable components include stats such as expected goals (soccer), player heat maps (soccer), player and team shot charts (basketball and hockey), spray charts (baseball) and strike zones (baseball), backed by Stats Perform's AI algorithms and tracking data.

In addition, the platform includes a Gameday feature for social media that produces automated graphics with live event data, based on pre-determined triggers selected before a match. Wayne Young (pictured), VP of Product Management, explains: 'With Opta Graphics, customers can now build and customize dynamic graphics with Stats Perform's live, reliable sports data and distribute it across multiple channels. This gives organizations the tools to scale the production of compelling live sports content'.
