LiberoVision - TV Quality 3D Replays

3Dwalkthroughs.com came across a really interesting technology that offers 3D replays in real TV quality. The technology allows sporting events to be analyzed from views not captured by the TV cameras.

Swiss based, LiberVision has developed a technology called DiscoverEye that offers the following benefits to media outlets:
- Virtual replays indistinguishable from TV cameras
- Eye-catching content for your highlights and analysis program
- No additional infrastructure required in the stadium

The 3D technology, known in the US as Axis, is being used by ESPN to spice up the coverage of low-scoring European soccer games. Axis allows the announcer to replay a game situation from a players viewpoint. The announcer can even take the same play and position the camera from the perspective of a defender or goalie.

"Using the conventional, physical camera streams, the «magic eye» computes new images from new angles and puts them together to full flights in 3D space with hardly any loss in image quality." - LiberoVision press release

You can check out samples of Axis on LiberoVison's website.
