As part of Nike SPARQ‘s ongoing mission to train, rank, and generally help athletes chart their progress, theGOOD was hired to design and develop a real-time data installation that would be used on large-format screens at SPARQ training events nationwide.
The challenge was to build an application that interfaced with Nike SPARQ’s live data flow, had a front-end display flexible enough work on multiple screens of varying resolutions, and included a sequencer to control the video clips and statistics displayed on-screen during each event. The application also needed to be lightweight and responsive enough to work over spotty Wi-Fi connections, and smart enough to display cached data if the Internet connection was lost.
The end result was a fully customizable, branded application that allowed for endless combinations of statistics to be sequenced and displayed in an easy-to-read manner, enabling athletes to get real-time feedback on their performance at national and regional Nike SPARQ events.
