Virtual Eye News

The 52 Super Series event one in Cape Town was supported by Virtual Eye broadcast graphics and the Official 52 Super Series App. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the second event was cancelled and Virtual Eye Sailing returned to New Zealand. Virtual Eye Cricket provided ball-tracking and graphics for the first ODI between New Zealand and Australia in Sydney (played at an empty SCG) before returning home the following day.

Our stateside Golf operators returned home after one round of the Players Championship before it too was cancelled, having already covered the Arnold Palmer Invitational a week earlier. The Qatar Masters was also the last event right now for Virtual Eye on the European Tour.

Our people returned home safely and went into voluntary self-isolation. They are all in good health 20 days on. Some have decided to remain overseas, and we are in daily contact. In the immediate future we are completing deliverables, refining our existing services and developing new ones. Kia haumaru, e hoa mā (Be safe, friends).

Virtual Eye Golf operators were already encamped at the Saudi Arabia International and the Waste Management Phoenix Open when the month began, providing broadcast graphics on the European and PGA Tours. The next pairing of tournaments for the teams were the Victoria Open in Australia and the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California, followed by consecutive tournaments - the Genesis Invitational on the PGA Tour, the WGC-Mexico Championship at Chapultepec on the European Tour then back on the PGA Tour for the Honda Classic in Florida. Virtual Eye Golf operators saw out the month supplying our graphics for the New Zealand Open at the Hills.

Ball-tracking and graphics for the final T20 match, and start of the ODI Cricket series, between hosts New Zealand and India continued Virtual Eye's Summer of Cricket, with matches held in Mt. Maunganui, Hamilton and Auckland. The Test series between NZ and India followed, with Virtual Eye Cricket attending the first Test in Wellington and ending February covering the second Test in Christchurch.
