The problem
Who’s that?
Section 420. Names too far to read, one name at a time on the scoreboard, and the first-timer next to you disengages. The one question the ballpark can’t answer from your seat is the simplest one: who am I looking at?

How it works
No computer vision needed. Just a lookup.
AR tells us where the field is. The live game feed tells us who is at each position. The player standing in the shortstop zone is the shortstop, so we snap the name to the spot.
- 01
Calibrate with two taps
Tap home plate, tap second base. A virtual field snaps onto the real one and stays locked as you pan from your seat.
- 02
Live data says who is where
The game feed already knows who’s playing shortstop, who’s batting and who’s on second. Cards update on every substitution and every half inning, about every 10 seconds.
- 03
Tap a card for stats
Season line, tonight’s line, pitcher vs. batter. Replay any game play by play, or switch to a clean top-down Field view.
The AI inside
Smart where it counts. Private everywhere.
-
On-device jersey-number recognition
For Local Games, the camera reads the numbers on the field and matches them to the coach’s roster. The model runs on the phone; frames never leave it.
-
Live data fusion
Lineups, substitutions, runners and the count stream in from licensed feeds and merge with the AR field in real time. The feed says who; the field says where.
-
AR field anchoring
A two-point solve anchors a virtual field to the real one and holds it as you pan. Life-size at the park, a miniature on any table, with constant-size labels that declutter themselves.
-
Privacy by design
No face recognition, ever. Camera frames never leave the phone and nothing is recorded. Rosters for kids default to first names only, and location is optional.
Every sport
Baseball first. Every game next.
Any sport with structured positions works with the same trick. Fluid sports show exactly who’s on and pin names as the on-device vision matures.
All nine fielders, the batter and every runner, named live.
Cards swap on every substitution and every half inning. Mint for the defense, amber for the batter and runners, a score bug with the count. Replay any game this season.
Every formation slot labeled from the announced lineup.
A 4-2-3-1 is a map. Lineups land about an hour before kickoff; substitutes inherit the slot of the player they replace, and red cards clear it.
Line of scrimmage, first-down line and the line in AR.
Down, distance, ball spot and possession on the field in front of you, the quarterback and line labeled from the depth chart, and the full roster a tap away.
The exact five on the floor, every substitution.
A who’s-on strip that is never wrong, shot locations drawn on the court, and tap-to-pin: tap a player, pick the name, and the card follows them.
Who’s on the ice, every shift, power play and all.
Shifts change every 45 seconds; the strip keeps up. Strength, which end each team defends, and the number on the back matched from the lower bowl.
Local Games Founder’s favorite
Every game. Even Saturday’s.
No feed? No problem. The coach shares the roster; parents spot their kid by position or by number. No account, nothing uploaded, nothing to pay.
