Virtual Eye News

This month we continued our support for the 52 SUPER SERIES at the Rolex TP52 World Championship Puerto Portals 2019 - providing broadcast graphics, live tracking via 52superseries.com and the Official App of the 52 Super Series. On the European Tour, Virtual Eye Golf covered the D+D Real Czech Masters, the Scandinavian Invitational and the Omega European Masters. Virtual Eye Golf also wrapped up a very successful season providing tracking and graphics on the PGA Tour, with the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina, The Northern Trust at Liberty National in New Jersey, the BMW Championship at Medinah Country Club in Illinois and the TOUR Championship at East Lake in Georgia. The 2020 PGA Tour begins in September.

Virtual Eye stepped up to the plate during the MLB All-Stars game at Cleveland's Progressive Field, providing graphics that tracked and compared pitches, home runs, and other key elements for client Fox Sports. "We’ve been working with Virtual Eye for a while,'" recounts Brad Cheney, VP, field operations and engineering, Fox Sports. "Obviously, they make phenomenal 3D models of golf courses, so we asked them, ‘Could you do this for baseball?’ And they said, ‘Sure. If we have the data, we could build the model. Then you can pretty much do anything you want.’ The outputs have been pretty stunning so far." _{quote:sportsvideo.org}

Those 'phenomenal 3d models of golf courses' were on display again during July, with Virtual Eye providing tracking and graphics at the 3M Open in Minnesota, the John Deere Classic in Illinois, the FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Tennessee and the 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. On the European Tour, Virtual Eye attended the Irish Open and the Scottish Open. We were also at the Cascais 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week providing broadcast graphics, live tracking via 52superseries.com and the Official App of the 52 Super Series. In addition, our visualization team provided client America's Cup with a look forward to the America’s Cup World Series Sardegna in April 2020.
