Outsight Selected for Advancing People Flow Understanding at Olympic Venues

As France prepares to host numerous high-profile sporting events, culminating in the 2024 Olympics, the demand on its infrastructure to provide smart people flow monitoring, as well as secure, efficient, and technologically advanced environments for spectators has never been greater.

With its Spatial AI and LiDAR technology solutions being deployed across four continents, this latest recognition cements Outsight’s position as the leading innovator in the Spatial Intelligence domain.

How does Lidar work? (in detail)

3D LiDAR is a complex technology that enables unprecedented Spatial Intelligence. Many engineering choices are possible when building a new device.

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create detailed 3D maps of environments.

It accurately detects and tracks objects and people without recording facial features or other sensitive information, ensuring privacy while providing precise Spatial Intelligence.

Outsight's award-winning "Olympic LiDAR" project leverages their Spatial Intelligence Platform to offer unmatched privacy-focused people flow monitoring and security solutions.

With seamless integration capabilities, Outsight's software is compatible with any LiDAR sensor from various manufacturers, transforming raw data into actionable insights. This allows for precise tracking and management of people and vehicles in complex environments like stadiums, tourism sites, transportation hubs, and parking areas.

Outsight's technology empowers stadium personnel with real-time data, enabling them to monitor and manage spectator flows efficiently and in a fully anonymous manner.

The system generates detailed KPIs for various zones, allowing operators to anticipate and respond to changing demands swiftly. 

Raul Bravo, Founder-President of Outsight, said,

"For the first time, there is an alternative to capturing images with cameras, using 3D LiDAR sensors that only capture anonymous laser points. Unlike the situation two years ago, these sensors are now price-competitive and highly performant."

"This award recognizes not only the maturity of this technology, which we're already deploying at scale in many markets, but also its significant interest for sports venues that must ensure a precise understanding of people flow for better operations, visitor experience, and safety."

This award follows many others:

This project was funded by the French government as part of the France 2030 initiative which aims at investing in innovative technologies and support the ecological transition.
