Paris, France -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/29/2017 -- PIQ Sport Intelligence, a leading start-up in IoT for sports, and Canal +, a major European broadcaster, are partnering to create the ultimate broadcasting experience for boxing lovers. For the first time ever, TV viewers will get access to live stats of the fights thanks to sensors to be worn by the boxers.

The PIQ Live technology serving Canal+ subscribers.

Canal + editorial teams, as well as Euromedia-NetcoSports technical teams, and PIQ technological teams have worked together to rethink the boxing event experience and enrich its content. This unique approach will enhance the broadcast of boxing events, offering a more engaging experience for viewers. Viewers will soon have live access to key fighting stats that were previously not available, such as the speed of punches, and the power – measured as a g-force – or the retraction time. These stats will allow viewers a better understanding of the technique and the performance of each boxer.

This data is available in real-time thanks to PIQ's unique expertise and patented technology. This start-up is focusing on IoT (Internet of Things) for sports and has designed a nano-computer that records and understands, thanks to AI, the movements and strokes of sports players by the milliseconds. This motion-capture algorithm is protected by 10 international patents and is now available to revolutionize the broadcasting of sports events.

Francois-Charles Bideaux, Head of sports production at Canal+ comments: " Thanks to our collective expertise, and most notably, the access to PIQ's technology, CANAL+ subscribers will get access to a unique intimate understanding of boxing for the first time, right there on the ring to understand the true dynamics of a fight. This immersive set-up engages viewers well beyond traditional TV broadcasting. "

A world's first

The sensors are worn by the boxers during the event and data is displayed at key moments of the fights. Viewers are able to see in real-time the speed of punches, the power, and type of punches — as well as many other data points.

The first fight airing PIQ's data has been broadcasted live on June 2nd. The next fights airing PIQ's data will be broadcasted on July 1st 2017 (Diallo v. Donfack & Goulamirian v. Williams)

The PIQ technology and sensors have also been used in the new Canal+ TV show "Invisible", an ambitious project in which a sports movement is broken down and analyzed thanks to an ultra-slow-motion camera.

PIQ Live, a new team dedicated to media and events

PIQ Live is a new product and team dedicated to the growing needs of media outlets to enrich their content and differentiate their viewers' experience during sports events. Thanks to the expertise and the quality of the data gathered by PIQ's sensors, sports broadcasting enters a new era, events are even more exciting, more interactive and each viewer becomes an expert.

The sensors worn by pro athletes during these events are also available to consumers . Each can then measure their performance and compare themselves to the pro athletes they see on TV.

Cedric Mangaud, CEO of PIQ Sport Intelligence states " We are proud to launch this revolution with CANAL+, a network that has continuously innovated in sports broadcasting for the last 30 years. Our ambition is to change how viewers consume sports events by bringing new data, while allowing them to have access to these innovations themselves in their everyday sports sessions, thus creating a community of involved sports players"

Paris, France -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/09/2017 -- Embarking on a new step in an already fruitful partnership, PIQ and North Kiteboarding have now created the first-ever connected kiteboard – The new product integrates a PIQ ROBOTTM artificial intelligence device in the mythic Jaime board.

PIQ and North Kiteboarding are announcing the world premiere of this truly disruptive innovation at the ISPO 2017 and will be demonstrating a working prototype at the PIQ booth. The Jaime board prototype, the first of its kind in the world, will be embedded with the GAIA Intelligence — the first Artificial Intelligence system that autonomously analyzes sports motions.

The world-premiere of the 'connected kiteboard'
The PIQ ROBOTTM nano-computer — now embedded within the Jaime board — is bound to revolutionize the kiteboarding experience thanks to a LED display right that appears between the rider's feet.

Thanks to this new technology smartly embedded in already advanced sport equipment, the rider can now get all of the GAIA intelligence in real-time.

GAIA, the first Artificial Intelligence system that autonomously analyzes sports motions in real-time, utilizes advanced algorithms to analyze movement in real-time and is able to deliver information directly to the kiteboarder on the screen and its EZ-reading gauges — even while he or she is still in the water.

The multi-algorithmic machine-learning intelligence featured in North and PIQ is the result of both fundamental and applied research. As a result of PIQ's relentless innovation, the technology is now able to understand and analyze microscopic variations in kiteboarding movements.

Specifically, the PIQ ROBOTTM embedded in the Jaime board is able to measure the rider's speed, their height for each jumps, their hangtime, as well as the smoothness of their landings, and many other metrics.

When the best of Freestyle and Freeride are combined, you get the Jaime. As one of the North Kitboarding's longest standing Freestyle boards with a legendary status, the Jaime is great for both hooked-in and unhooked riding. Its Quattro V Bottom delivers an engaging grip, whilst the medium Flex pattern ensures comfort and outstanding Freestyle characteristics.

Fast and with great pop, Freestyle riders looking for an explosive, yet forgiving ride will relish in the Jaime's all-round attributes. In combination with PIQ ROBOT(TM) the Jaime will push your kitesurfing skills to your next level!

North Kiteboarding and PIQ are now moving forward to a new step in their partnership by integrating their respective technologies in one single product. Beyond this prototype, the long-term objective is to integrate the PIQ ROBOTTM technology in several boards within the North Kiteboarding range.

Cedric Mangaud, CEO of PIQ Sport Intelligence states "Since the founding of PIQ, we've always had that vision of embedding PIQ directly in the players' gear to give them the best experience possible. Thanks to the work of our two teams, we're now extremely proud to unveil today at ISPO what is truly a breakthrough innovation with the world's first connected kiteboard."

"We're entering a new era for kiteboarding thanks to the integration of the PIQ's technology within the North Kiteboarding boards," states Till Eberle, CEO of Boards and More, parent company of North Kiteboarding. "This will incredibly enrich the experience of the riders and allow them to better understand and analyze their performance in real-time".

PIQ will present prototypes of this revolution at its booth – BN54 in Hall B5 – for the duration of show.
