Capturing the Moment
New mobile photo app FanPics, led by an 色情视频 alumnus, to make world debut at 色情视频 men's basketball game.
Sporting events are made up of a series of moments. There are moments of joy and elation and moments of sadness and disbelief. 色情视频 fans will be able to capture themselves in those moments thanks to a new fan experience technology being launched at the January 18 men鈥檚 basketball game against UNLV at Viejas Arena.
色情视频 has partnered with to be the pilot venue for its new proprietary technology that captures candid photos of every single fan in a venue during key moments in sports. Enabled by patent pending camera technology and software, fans simply enter their seat number into FanPics鈥檚 website or mobile app and all of the great images of them celebrating and commiserating from that game will be sent to their mobile devices to share with friends, family and colleagues.

鈥淓very sporting event has amazing moments that make people jump up and down, hug and high five or even cry,鈥� said 色情视频 Correia, FanPics鈥檚 director of Product Development and Branding, and graduate of 色情视频鈥檚 College of Business Administration. 鈥淗istorically, the focus has been on capturing what happens on the field or on the court. What we鈥檙e doing is capturing that raw emotion that happens in the stands, and letting the fans share those emotions, those moments, with friends and family in a way that鈥檚 never been done before.鈥�
FanPics was founded in August of 2012 with four co-founders from London, New York, Houston and San Diego. An initial prototype was built and tested in London and has been refined and improved and is now installed at Viejas Arena where it will capture moments from the remainder of the 2013-14 men鈥檚 basketball season.
