The High-Tech Super Bowl LVII
The future of tech is heading to the Super Bowl which means it will be more that just the Eagles and the Chiefs who are set to wow supporters at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona this Sunday.
Tech on display at the event will not only just demonstrate the direction the world is moving in but is also going to provide protection to the players.
I will be having a look at some of the key bits of tech that will be featured at this years Super Bowl Sunday...
Q-Collar
The Q-Collar has made a big impact on the NFL and us likely to be used by most if not all players in this years Super Bowl clash.
The collar is used to protect players from repeated head clashed and other impacts, it has been proven that players who do not wear it are three times more vulnerable to a serious injury.
ChatGBPT & Avocado's From Mexico
The central American giant of the fruit industry, Avocado's From Mexico, is pulling out all the stops for Super Bowl LVII.
They've managed to team up with Anna Farris and ChatGPT to create an immersive ad campaign for supporters to enjoy.
ChatGPT is an AI ad plat form that revolutionised the industry and will soon become the norm for television adverts, I believe.
Waymo Robotaxi
Could this be the future of taxi's? It may not be ideal if you're taxi driver but that won't stop Waymo or any other Tech company who is working towards a driverless future.
They have been testing in Miami but since the weather down their has taken a turn, they are now testing in the Phoenix and San Francisco area's.
With them already having a presence on the roads in Phoenix, it only makes sense that they use the global platform of the Super Bowl which will be right on their doorstep, to showcase what they have been working on.
5G connectivity
Ahead of the big weekend, the city of Phoenix and ensured that 5G connectivity will not be an issue for those at or around the Stadium.
They have expanded their whole infrastructure to make sure that the stadium and the whole downtown area are covered.
Smart Tech installed at Intersections
This is exactly the kind of technology that will be used in Smart Cities to monitor traffic and allow for a super efficient flow, which will also mean less standing around waiting for the man to turn green.
Just as they did with the 5G connectivity, the city have been very proactive and have installed these at several intersections around the city ahead of the city.

Super NFL Tycoon - Roblox
A truly immersive experience for the NFL enthusiast which brings all things American football to the metaverse.
This platform will create a a haven for players where they can build their own NFL team from scratch and get an in depth understanding of what goes into running the clubs they love so much.
Drones
As with most Super Bowl's in recent memory, drones will populate the air space above and around the stadium.
The main reason for this is security and of course, fan safety will be a huge priority to the organisers of the event.
So that's a wrap on some the key tech that will help to make this years Super Bowl exciting, fun and safe.
In case you are left wanting to know more about a particular piece of technology then I have included all of my sources below.
Is this kind of technology going to be used at more events moving forward? Which one is your favourite? Does any of it concern you?
