Pali

Internet connected goalposts

In the social media age it seems that everyone is obsessed by telling everyone else where they are and what they’re doing at any any given moment. Some might say that it’s become something of an unhealthy habit, but what if this urge to share our current headspace and whereabouts could help encourage more active and social sports participation? The phenomena of Pokemon Go proved that there is definitely an appetite to connect digital to real world experiences in simple, tangible ways. So what if you could trigger a real world game of footy with a digital app? Pali is an interactive product innovation developed by Uniform that allows you to do just that. Simply pulling apart your Pali goalpost cones sends an instant message alert to your friend’s phones’ letting them know your location and that you’re ready for a game. With Pali everything happens just as naturally as if you were having a normal kick-about with your mates, the simple act of placing your Pali goalposts kicks everything off. We designed Pali to encourage active and social sports participation in a simple, instinctive grass roots way - connecting good mates and new friends for a kick-about wherever, whenever - it’s a fresh way to inspire an old, universally loved ritual.
