Soccer in smart cities
Venture Category: Sports
Community: Sensorica
The main goal of this project is to bring sports back to human scale, to change the narrative and the culture around sports, by giving people the power to capture, distribute and engage with sports-related content. In order to reach this higher objective, we are assembling a family of technologies that allows streaming / recording of amateur team sports, with social interactivity.
This project is currently very active in Mexico

Describe all layers of incentives...
The short-term economic model for this venture is based mostly on public funding and crowdfunding.
The long-term economic model for this venture is built around open innovation and distributed manufacturing (DIY).
In short, for the long run, we're geared towards providing:
DIY kits (can be transactional kit sales) that provide required vitamins (non-digitally manufactured components) to build a particular tool (Zimmermann, 2014; Gibney, 2016).
Specialty parts / components, hard-to-find, custom (ex. BackYard Brains or OpenQCM both sell the most specialized and hardest to source components for their respective open hardware tools).
Help with calibrating and validating (scientific) hardware (can be transactional service) to provide security to prosumers who build their own tools. This provides prosumers with the confidence that their measurements or functionality are acceptably reproducible, accurate and precise.
Education / Training (ex. Open Source Ecology), include support. This can also follow the consulting business model (Fjelsted et al., 2012).
Ecosystem services: provide trust, validation, discoverability, help, a place to discuss and collaborate, etc.
