About the Speaker

Do you watch football games on TV? And have you ever wondered if Wayne Rooney really started from an offside position when scoring the deciding goal? Or was Ronaldinho truly aware of Thierry Henry disengaging from the defender when performing that spectacular pass? For such experiences, viewers need to gain access to novel imagery that allows them to see replays of offside situations where the camera’s viewpoint is exactly on the offside line or the player’s field of view in the moment of a pass or a goal shot. LiberoVision DiscoverEye provides the missing parts into a world of enhanced sports events media distribution: It allows TV broadcasters, to not only select the best camera viewpoint for replays but also to arbitrarily choose virtual camera positions. Such views have never been shown before in such a realistic quality and provide more insight and deeper immersion for the viewer. LiberoVision’s products have a high added value for the viewers: Game- deciding scenes can now be discussed more comprehensibly and easier to understand for the viewers. For example, the DiscoverEye virtual camera can be moved directly into the eyes of the linesman and on the offside line. In addition, our tools improve any half-time or post-game summary as a support tool for the experts during tactical analysis. This talk will give an overview of the current technology and products of LiberoVision.
