From crowd noise to haptic signal
A classical signal-processing pipeline — no cameras, no play-by-play feed, just the sound of the stadium.
Stadium audio captured
Live crowd noise flows continuously into the AEGIS detector — no video, no external data feed required.
Swell detected
A venue-adaptive threshold flags crowd energy rising above its own rolling baseline, in real time, as it builds.
Fan feels it
The Rumble Cushion translates that rising energy into a vibration pattern — blind fans feel the crowd's anticipation, not just its aftermath.
What AEGIS actually detects
Pulled directly from a real AEGIS run on real stadium crowd audio — a UCL knockout-tier recording, run through the v3 detector.
What this shows, honestly: the exact fixture, date, and scoreline for this recording were never logged and can't currently be confirmed — so these numbers demonstrate that AEGIS extracts real structure from real crowd audio (detection-activity evidence), not that any single flagged moment lines up with a specific goal. Match identity and per-event accuracy are being re-verified; see the comparison note below.

Top ranked moments in this recording
Timestamps and energy levels are ranked, real detector output for this recording. They are not yet matched against an independently confirmed match event log.
Detection activity by match
| Recording | Swells | Spikes | Verification status |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCL knockout tie — Man City v Real Madrid1 | 13 | 99 | Fixture unconfirmed — activity volume only |

1. No fixture, date, or scoreline is recorded for this audio source — team names reflect the working label only. 2. A same-day audit found this recording's broadcast clock does not consistently map to the match clock it was originally graded against; per-goal accuracy for this match is being re-derived from the footage directly rather than quoted from the prior pass.
AEGIS energy visualizations
Real detector output, rendered as a live energy curve over the full match audio — swells, ranked highlights, and haptic intensity as they occur.
Man City v Real Madrid — energy visualization
13 swells across the full recording, rendered as a real-time energy curve. Activity-volume demonstration; fixture unconfirmed.
Newcastle v Liverpool — energy visualization
5 swells detected; the strongest at 83:52. Broadcast-timing re-verification in progress for this recording.

Description tells you what happened. AEGIS is built for what's about to.
The gap AEGIS is built to fill
Como 1907's Connect Me Too already gives blind and low-vision fans audio description of what's happening on the pitch. AEGIS is designed to add the layer underneath that: the crowd's rising anticipation, felt in real time, before the description catches up.
"Como gives blind fans audio description of what's happening. AEGIS is built to add what's about to happen."
Detection accuracy against confirmed match events is still being validated — see the verification notes above. What's already real: a working adaptive-threshold detector extracting genuine structure from live crowd audio.
FanVibe Phase Zero — hardware in development
- Rumble Cushion — 8-motor seat pad, translates crowd energy into localized vibration patternsConcept
- Audio Hub — BLE companion speaker for haptic + audio cueingConcept
Phase Zero spec is currently with a manufacturing partner for scoping — not yet a shipped or committed product.
Pilot AEGIS at your stadium
We're looking for a first real-world pilot partner — Como Ventures, Real Madrid NEXT, or any club ready to test anticipatory accessibility with real fans.
