THE CROWD KNOWS
BEFORE THE
COMMENTATOR DOES.
AEGIS listens to live stadium crowd audio and detects energy building before a goal or big play — then delivers that anticipation as directional haptic feedback through a seat cushion. Blind fans feel the moment develop the way sighted fans see it.
HEAR IT. SEE IT.
FEEL IT.
This is a real detection run — 117 minutes of match audio, played back in 13 seconds. Red marks a crowd swell. On a phone, every swell fires the same haptic pattern a FanVibe cushion delivers, so you feel the moment build exactly when the waveform does.
FROM CROWD NOISE
TO HAPTIC OUTPUT.
INGEST
Live crowd audio. 4kHz rate. 30s chunks. No cameras. No play-by-play feed.
PROCESS
STFT decomposition. Venue-adaptive sigma threshold. Flags energy rising above baseline.
CLASSIFY
RandomForest. 9 features. Crowd swell vs. eruption vs. ambient. Trained v3.
OUTPUT
FanVibe seat cushion. 8 motors. Directional patterns. <100ms latency.
clear signal across 20 real matches, 56 independently verified goals.
crowd swells detected in Man City vs Real Madrid. 3 high-confidence (>0.6).
Classical signal processing. Copyright-protected. No fabricated metrics. Verified July 2026.
AUDIO-ONLY.
ANTICIPATORY.
NO VENUE SETUP.
AUDIO-ONLY
No cameras. No tracking arrays. No sensors on the pitch. Works with any crowd audio source — in-venue mic or broadcast feed.
ANTICIPATORY
The crowd swells before the commentator reacts. AEGIS captures that anticipation — the build-up, the tension, the moment before the eruption. OneCourt is reactive. AEGIS predicts.
SELF-CALIBRATING
Venue-adaptive baseline. No calibration, no setup, no prior data needed. Deploy anywhere there's a crowd and a microphone.
HUMAN-CENTERED
Co-designed with blind and low-vision fans through VisionLink PHL. Not built for them — built with them. FanVibe is a seat cushion, not a wearable. No screens, no straps, no charging routine.
