Virtual Eye - June 2022

The WSL Championship Tour use Virtual Eye to explain their locations, with the right point break at Punta Roca being new to the Tour this season ( video below ) - the Surf City El Salvador Pro took place over 8 days in mid-June. Major League Baseball played out another 400-plus games this month, with MLB Statcast 3D (which Virtual Eye maintains and updates) used extensively by multiple broadcasters throughout. Virtual Eye was also able to support the 128th Kiel Week remotely this year, the sailing event back up to full strength with 326 races in 22 boat classes over 9 days on 9 courses in Kiel, Germany.

Virtual Eye Golf supports multiple professional Tours with our golf tracking for broadcast and on the web, so we often service concurrent tournaments. The Memorial Tournament on the PGA Tour, The Porsche European Open on the European Tour and the US Women's Open at Pine Needles were the first simultaneous events that used Virtual Eye graphics for June, followed by the RBC Canadian Open and the Scandinavian Mixed as the next pairing. The US Open at The Country Club in Massachusetts was the only singular tournament for our remote operations team this month, as it was followed by the pairing of first The Travelers Championship in Connecticut and the BMW International Open in Munich, then the John Deere Classic in Illinois and the Irish Open in Kilkenny, Ireland.

Virtual Eye - May 2022

420 Major League Baseball games were played in May, with MLB Statcast3D used in all of those fixtures by 35 broadcasters - putting 1600+ Statcast 3D clips on TV over the month. MLB Statcast 3D is even being used as a graphical background for announcements, which the Virtual Eye crew are calling 'model love' moments (example below).

Virtual Eye Golf got busier as the month progressed, beginning with the final day of play at The Mexico Championship in Vidanta Vallarta. Next up were concurrent tournaments the Wells Fargo Championship at TPC Potomac on the PGA Tour and the British Masters at Belfry on the European Tour. These were followed by the simultaneous AT&T Byron Nelson in Texas and the Soudal Open in Belgium, before the PGA Championship at Southern Hills CC - one of the largest tournaments we cover each year. What better way to finish off the month than delivering graphics live for three concurrent tournaments, the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas, the KLM Open in the Netherlands and the Senior PGA Championship at Harbour Shores in Michigan.
