The Worcester Red Sox and Standard AI are treating fans to baseball's first autonomous retail experience with WooSox Market and the inaugural WooSox Winter Wonderland. The WooSox Market at Polar Park relies on artificial intelligence-powered cameras in the cloud to give fans the ability to shop for snacks and memorabilia without the need to scan items, wair in line or interrupt their shopping experience to checkout. The experience is powered by the Standard AI Checkout app, which provides a place for baseball fans to input their payment information and get a receipt for the items they choose to pick up in-store.
Standard AI retrofitted the WooSox Market with only ceiling-mounted cameras and proprietary computer vision software. Soon, this technology may be making its way to other ballparks and sports arenas.
