Automated highlights, augmented reality and an all-knowing chatbot called'Ask Fred' are among the new innovations from the the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and IBM at this year's Championships. The AELTC and IBM announced on Tuesday that they are introducing a raft of innovations for the 2017 tournament in order to engage existing supporters and try to expand the tournament's global audience. 'Ask Fred' - named after Britain's legendary three-time Wimbledon champion Fred Perry - is enabled by IBM's Watson technology and offers a cognitive assistant to answer questions from fans visiting the event. Supporters can get information on a range of topics, including where to eat and drink or the nearest place to buy a Wimbledon towel. Three public wi-fi hotspots - also new for 2017 - will facilitate the process, and Wimbledon and IBM will monitor the questions Fred is asked to provide an improved service for next year.
