The Focus

It’s getting harder and harder to focus on just one thing. And when it comes to UEFA Champions League matches, every blink could be crucial. Heineken decided to find and reward the most concentrated fans by challenging them to a stare-down with one of the most cool-headed football players — Andrea Pirlo. We created a website that tests the concentration of each visitor in a battle with Pirlo himself. Using AI-powered face tracking technology, we detected the movement of each player’s eyes, both on desktop and mobile devices. Those who managed to withstand Pirlo’s stare the longest without blinking or looking away won a ticket for an exclusive screening of the Final.
