Virtual Eye News

Virtual Eye supplied 11 separate graphics outputs for the 2023 PGA Championship, seven of which were remotely operated from New Zealand - the most simultaneous feeds we've ever had for the one event. At the start of the month our operators had delivered our graphics to three concurrent tournaments, the Wells Fargo Championship on the PGA Tour, the Italian Open on the European Tour and the Hanwha LIFEPLUS International on the LPGA Tour. The following week saw another two simultaneous tournaments, the AT&T Byron Nelson on the PGA Tour and the Soudal Open on the European Tour - then came the week of the PGA Championship. The end of May saw our Golf Ops supplying our ball-tracking and graphics to the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial CC in Texas and the KLM Dutch Open at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt.

Over 400 Major League Baseball games were played during May, with game coverage enhanced by broadcasting tool MLB StatCast 3D (which Virtual Eye maintains and updates). We are also providing our graphics for the duration of the 2022-23 Ocean Race - May saw the fleet on Leg 4 from Itajai to Newport, with Leg 5 across the Atlantic Ocean to Aarhus starting on the 21st of the month.

The start of April saw Virtual Eye's John Rendall taking to the stage with Amazon Web Services (AWS) senior solutions architect Ruskin Dantra at AWS Summit Sydney, presenting 'Theory to practice: A guide to real-time architectures' - exploring how Virtual Eye is utilising event-driven and streaming architecture providing deep analytics that bring statistics to life for sports fans.

Also in April, Virtual Eye Golf was supplying our data-driven graphics for the PGA at the Valero Texas Open, the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, the Zurich Classic at TPC louisiana, the Chevron Championship at Carlton Woods on the LPGA Tour and the Mexico Championship at Vidanta Vallarta.

The 2023 Major League Baseball season has started, with game coverage enhanced by broadcasting tool MLB StatCast 3D (which Virtual Eye maintains and updates).
