FOR TENNIS fans, new technology enhances the Wimbledon experience for those who cannot make it to Centre Court.
IBM's Slamtracker offers tennis fans a new way to keep track of events at London's SW19. The application, which can be accessed through the Wimbledon.org website, provides a wide variety of live information on events in the championships.
"It takes just seconds for the information to go from courtside to the scoreboard," says Elizabeth Hammer, project manager of Wimbledon.org.
Slamtracker provides fans with updates on scores across the courts at the tournament. More detailed live information on specific matches and players can also be accessed through the application. The aim is not just to make it easier for people to keep track of the tennis while in the office. The developers want to improve the experience for all fans.
