Avatar All-stars

Lenovo, as the official global technology partner for FIFA World Cup 2026, is introducing AI-powered innovations including "AI-enabled 3D avatars" of every player. These avatars, created from quick 3D scans capturing accurate body dimensions, ensure precise tracking during fast or obscured movements, used mainly for semi-automated offside decisions and featured in 3D replay animations to provide clear visual context for fans, officials, and broadcasts. Announced at CES 2026, this builds on Lenovo's AI devices like ThinkPads for real-time data processing, making soccer fairer and more immersive.

Pretend you're innovating for Lenovo's FIFA tech team! Build on their existing 3D avatars (used for offsides and replays) by thinking of a new way to use them in a soccer scenario, then pitch it to Lenovo executives.

Your Submission Must Include:

Your Avatar Use: Pick one soccer scenario (e.g., a goal celebration, player injury review, or fan interaction) and describe in 2-3 sentences how you'd expand the 3D avatars for this new purpose.

Lenovo Pitch: Write a short pitch (under 100 words) including 3-4 bullet points explaining why this is useful: e.g., for fan experience (more engaging views?), player experience (better training insights?), replays (clearer explanations?), or data collection (improved stats?).
