Instead of sending scouts to identify young football stars, and then after a trial, picking the best ones, Artificial Intelligence is helping take on the job, as Omar Mehtab has been finding out. Some of the worlds biggest Football Talents are cherry picked from a young age, as scouts scour the pitches to find the best of the best. Well, they missed me. I have been in love with the beautiful game all my life. Granted, i wasnt playing many Sunday League matches however in order to get spotted, what if you dont need to anymore . There is a new app that has popped up, called aiscout, and it is all in the name. Artificial intelligence is being used to identify and analyse videos sent in by whoever, wherever. It can be at your local five a side, or even just in your back garden. And you dont have to be a pro. The way it works is you follow the instructions given on the app, using objects such as balls or cones as markers for the alto pick up. Once you complete an exercise, you upload it to the app for processing. Anything they do with the ball, with their body, gets tracked. All the movements then go into a system that has been built to identify what good Football Movement looks like, and that is referenced against benchmark data, academy data from clubs around the world. For players to be able to generate the same data without having to be on the right team or go to the right school or be in the right country. We can actually generate that data and get enough of an indication that someone can play football and they are worth a further look at. We dont replace the scouts, but we revolutionise their workflow. Now this app is in partnership with a few Premier League Football clubs, one of them being burnley, with over 12,000 aspiring football players across 125 different countries completing their virtual trials. So i also did their trial through the app. And it went. Uh. Come on man, get your nose on the ground. Shut up. Argh and soon after, the al was done processing my data. So how did i do . Some good, some bad. This is you. This is aiscout� s data of omar. Nrs, whats nrs . Nrs is the national rating score, so thats all the combined physical trials you did. The top you can get is two. So players that have been generally found by burnley are around 1. 7, so pretty high. So how do i actually compare to others who have taken the trial . Should we take a look . Laughs. You can see the graph there at the bottom. There is a little bit of a difference. Ok, i wasnt the best, which is to be expected but even still, the apps trials seemed quite simplistic by Premier League Club standards. So what is an actual Clubs Trial like . And so i went to burnley to find out. This is something. A Boyhood Dream being lived. Doing a trialfor a big club. And, oh man i wasnt ready. I will feed a ball in to you, and all i would like you to do is run across the first defender, finish first time if you can. It is a lot different to the trials on the app. I am doing the things i would normally do, but its knowing i am being watched by people who have been doing this for absolutely years. Good, im going to give you a shooting one now. That includes running . Yeah, just going to extend you a little bit, 0mar. Argh it is not even a man, it is a mannequin, and i overthought beating the mannequin. The mental strength they need to have to be able to go through this and show what they can do, without overthinking it, without hesitating. Something i cant imagine. I can shoot better than that laughs. I can shoot so much better than that. Obviously a lot more difficult in person. I couldnt do it on a cold, wet Tuesday Afternoon in burnley. You remember the numbers, cant you . One, two, three, four. Are you sure . No. But then how confident are the club in actually identifying talent from the app . Therell always be people who will be sceptical of new methods, and we are trying to be ahead of the game. We understand the level, we understand it, were not going to get everybody at academy standard football. But if we can get one through, that one might be just the next one. And so as i said, it is really important for us that we keep our options open as far as we can when we are looking at recruitment of players. Thats number four. No, that. Thats number four. In the end, the best 28 players are selected from aiscout� s trial run, and they play a game against each other with Human Scouts watching, to see if there is someone worth signing. There is some exceptional talent out here on display. 0ver there is reef, he has been recently called up by Sri Lanka after finding him on the app, soon to get his first international cap. And over there is bevan. Hes been given a second trial by burnley after being recommended by the ai. I just went to my local park and they told me what to do with the video, and i uploaded it, my dad filmed me, and after about a couple of hours it showed me my score. And because of the app i am now on my second trial with burnley. I probably would never had a trial with Burnley Or Anything to do with burnley, so i am here because of that basically. The Sports Science Team put through an Information Document on me, talked to the Sri Lanka national team because i could play for them. I then went to the under 19 trial, the Mens Coach came up to me and said can you come back next Yearand Play for us . , so. The opportunities that have been opened for minority groups that maybe wouldnt get the opportunities to play football, wouldnt want to play football, have been ridiculous. After the year we have had, i think it is time for a bit of fun in The Sun. Ok, the weather may be a little bit changeable but you get the idea. So i have got my hands on a whole heap of gadgets that i am hoping are going to make me a little bit cooler. First up, this. The motus 0rbit plus. And yes, its like a smart hula hoop. The great thing about this as it doesnt drop like a regular hula hoop. You take out the pieces to make it the right size to fit you, and it will only land on your hips and you can keep going and going. You really do need to stop to see how many times it has gone round though, which does feel counter productive. But the weighted hula Hoop Concept itself was better than i expected, although im sure the novelty would wear off after not long. 0w, surely that is enough. It does feel like cardio after a while, but in the house i was quite nervous about it hitting anything around me or a small child. But out here with the space, it certainly feels like exercise. Im a bit hot after that but luckily at the moment there is a trend for neck fans. This is the yoshfan. It has a couple of different settings. You can choose how high you want the fan to go, or there are Temperature Sensors embedded in it so it can decide how much fanning youre likely to need. I thought it was going to get really caught up in my hair, actually. But amazingly, it doesnt seem to, although if i move my hair out of the way, obviously i could feel it blowing a bit more. Would i really wear this . Well, maybe if i was in a hot country it might feel quite nice. And i suppose it does just look like a pair of headphones around your neck. But still, the concept itself does feel a little over the top to me, although maybe i was just not born to be this cool. Rather conveniently, The Sun has just come out for my next item. I have shown you before on the Programme Audio sunglasses where you can listen to Music Or Talk on the phone via the glasses. This pair has a bit of difference, though. This prototype is called dusk and it is a pair of smart Transition Lens glasses so you can change the colour of the lenses according to what you are up to. Maybe youre reading, maybe youre driving, and maybe The Sunlight around you is changing. At the moment you can do it by a button on the side, but eventually theyre going to connect to an app and you will be able to do it on there. They just wont stay in the right position. But i guess they are just a prototype. If you wondered what this is, this is my cooler box. As you can see, it has speakers so i can connect that to my phone to play a little bit of music or maybe an old episode of click rights issues. Turn it on. I can now connect it to my phones bluetooth and it is connected. Click theme plays. Recognise that . Finally, if you want to catch all of that Summer Fun on camera, here i have the latest take on the polaroid. I remember how much my dad loved his Polaroid Camera when i was a little girl. Now it is much, much smaller, rechargeable and, of course, it has a selfie mode. The brands latest release is the polaroid go. I cant do the pouting thing. Lets go for a smile. It can also do double exposure shots and has a timer. Now i just leave that there for a few minutes upside down. How did it go . Well, it looks like a polaroid oh, the nostalgia but the thing is we are so used to doing pictures on our phones now that if you got your eyes shut or its a bad picture you just take more. Each one of these you print is pretty expensive so you sort of want to get every picture right. Yep, over £1 per photo. And that is it for the short version of the programme. The full Length Show can be found on iplayer. The Click Team are about to take a break for a couple of weeks, we will leave you with some repeats but full service will be resumed in september. Until then, enjoy your summer. Hello. A mixed picture this afternoon with sunshine for some and rain for others and some blustery showers across scotland.
