FIFA World Cup Decisions in 3D

Six billion people are estimated to watch the FIFA World Cup in 2026, making this the most watched sports tournament in the world. Watching the World Cup from home isn’t passive—it’s loud, emotional, and shared. People shout at the TV, argue in group chats, and replay moments in their heads before the replay even appears.

Lenovo is working with FIFA to introduce AI-enabled 3D avatars into offside replays. These avatars are built using exact player dimensions, showing realistic body shape, movement, and positioning. For fans at home, the replay becomes clearer and more personal. Instead of guessing, viewers can see the moment from a new point of view—almost like stepping into the play themselves.

Your Task:

Imagine you’ve been scanned to create a 3D avatar like the Wold Cup players. Describe your avatar using 3 quick details:
• One physical detail that matters in a replay (height, stride, reach, posture)
• One movement habit you have (how you run, stop, or turn)
• One detail that makes your avatar feel “real,” not perfect

After you write your avatar description, share it with a classmate to get feedback. What might be missing?

Your Submission: Submit your avatar description and your thoughts on this avatar technology.
