Virtual Eye is onsite in Barcelona supporting the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup. Known for visualizing the racetrack and the boat’s positions on it, Virtual Eye is also taking the data from Bolt6 (optical tracking) and Capgemini (WindSight IQ™) to enhance the live coverage with graphics. You can watch the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup online and for your territory at americascup.com/live.

We supplied our ball-tracking and 3D graphics to events on the LPGA, PGA Tour and DP World Tour calendars this past month, beginning with the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina. The FedEx St. Jude Championship in Tennessee and the D+D Real Czech Masters in Prague teed off next, followed by the trio of the BMW Championship, the Danish Golf Championship and the AIG Womens Open, which were played concurrently. Coverage of The Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club and the Betfred British Masters at The Belfry were also enhanced by Virtual Eye graphics.

Virtual Eye Golf graphics are used extensively on numerous international Tours and on a range of platforms. In June we provided graphics at the concurrent Memorial Tournament on the PGA Tour and Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed on the DP World Tour, before turning our attention to the U.S. Open Golf Championship in North Carolina and the Travelers Championship in Connecticut the following week. Our ball-tracking and graphics were next brought to bear at the KLM Open in the Netherlands, the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Michigan and the Italian Open at Adriatic Golf Club Cervia.
