Virtual Eye News

Virtual Eye has set up camp in Australia for another season of Cricket, beginning with the first ODI between hosts Australia and Zimbabwe at Riverway Stadium in Townsville. Our graphics also explained the Teahupo'o reef for the WSL Outerknown Tahiti Pro this past month, and Major League Baseball played out another 400+ games enhanced by MLB Statcast 3D - now with updated stadiums, bat-swing analysis and headless capability thanks to the efforts of our graphics and development teams.

Virtual Eye Golf again remotely delivered our ball-tracking and graphics to concurrent tournaments in August, the first group being The Wyndham Championship in North Carolina, The Utah Championship and the Cazoo Open at Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. Within days of this the Golf Ops also supported the next trio of The FedEx St.Jude Championship in Tennessee, the Pinnacle Bank Championship in Nebraska and the ISPS Handa World Invitational at Galgorm Castle in Northern Ireland. The following set were the BMW Championship in Delaware, the Albertsons Boise Open in Idaho and the D+D Real Czech Masters at Albatross Golf Resort. August wrapped up with the final trio of the PGA Tour Championship in Georgia, the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship in Ohio and the Omega European Masters in Switzerland.

Virtual Eye visualized the right point break at Jeffreys Bay in South Africa for the World Surf League Championship Tour, one of seven Tour events held during July. Another 400+ Major League Baseball games were played for the month, including the MLB All-Star Game - where new technology was rolled out to MLB's Statcast 3D system (which Virtual Eye maintains and updates), used extensively by multiple broadcasters throughout July.
