Kinetic Stadium: Real-Time Digital Twin for Smart Stadiums

 Stadiums are no longer just physical spaces—they are dynamic systems filled with real-time interactions.

I built Kinetic Stadium, a digital twin platform that transforms how large-scale venues manage crowds, reduce wait times, and improve overall fan experience.


🧠 Problem

Large stadiums face challenges like:

  • Crowd congestion
  • Long waiting times at concessions
  • Difficulty in tracking movement
  • Lack of real-time decision-making tools

💡 Solution: Kinetic Stadium

A real-time digital twin system that visualizes crowd movement and provides actionable insights.

  • Frontend: React + Vite
  • Backend: Node.js
  • Database: Firebase Realtime Database
  • Deployment: Google Cloud Run
  • Containerization: Docker

🔥 Key Features

🔹 Real-Time Crowd Monitoring

Live crowd density updates with sub-second latency.

🔹 Smart Crowd Flow

Hotspot detection to prevent congestion before it happens.

🔹 Friend Finder
