Among the various applications of Real-Time Engagement (RTE) technology, artificial-intelligence-driven conversational AI can potentially enhance the interactivity of non-player characters (NPCs) in sports video games, providing a more immersive gaming experience. Moreover, RTE solutions can be leveraged to bolster real-time voice and video communication in sports live streaming, fostering a stronger connection between viewers and athletes.
