More TV Sports Technology
from the why-not-have-them-actually-race? dept
A few weeks ago we had an article about the creators of the 1st and 10 yard line technology that's so popular in football games. However, the most interesting TV technology from this Olympics comes from a different company. Everyone I know who's been watching the Olympics has been impressed by the "simulcam" technology that shows two skiers overlapping, as if they're on the course at the same time. It is pretty damn cool. Apparently, coaches think so also - and the company that makes the technology is doing good business selling cheaper versions to coaches, who run it on their laptops.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
