WME/IMG Forms ‘Internet of Things’ Partnership

Financial Times: WME-IMG has formed a joint venture with data analytics firm AGT to bring the “Internet of things” to live events, from Wimbledon tennis championships to top fashion shows and concerts. WME-IMG said the information would be used in a variety of ways. Attendees at a pop concert might be able to pre-order pictures of the show — or of themselves in their seats — from cameras in the arena. Live video of fashion runways from the model’s point of view could be streamed to smartphones.
