Fair Vision, the Nice company that wants to become the eyes of the French football team

They want to become the eyes of the French team. The two cameras pampered by Jean-Michel Felderhoff, boss of the Fair Vision company, don’t look like much but have great power. “The system is called Argos. It’s the name of a Greek God who had 100 eyes. The idea is therefore to be able to see everything on the pitch to decipher the game, understand it and offer keys to staff and coaches..” In short, thousands of data collected and transmitted in real time on a simple computer to analysts in the stands or to technical staff on the sidelines. “We capture the entire field and behind it we can create an isolated camera on a player, a goalkeeper, a team block, a movement… We do not want to replace the analysts but to help them with this system that we can automate and take to all stadiums.”

Seduce the Blues before conquering the world?

It is this compact and transportable aspect which is revolutionary and pushed the staff of the French team to contact the company Fair Vision, based in the Arénas district of Nice, a year ago. “The system can be automated, it fits in a small suitcase and can be installed in five minutes. This makes it possible to obtain very qualitative images in all stadiums around the world.“After a year of testing at the Allianz Riviera or at the Stade Louis II in Monaco, here is the Argos system ready for the big leap this Thursday evening at the Stade de France.”The Blues staff will try it against Israel then in Italy on Sunday. The idea is to attract the French team and then market the system and offer it to other selections or clubs.“.

The challenge for Fair Vision, which today has 10 employees, is to become THE reference in terms of Data in the world of football. Thanks to this technological know-how which has already proven itself. Particularly at OGC Nice with Fair Vision’s other flagship tool: the NiceCam. A device that allows you to film matches or training sessions in very high quality and autonomously, in particular thanks to solar panels. The Gym performance center, but also the Cap d’Ail stadium and the Aix en Provence youth center are already equipped.
