SVG Summit: Sky Sports on How Volumetric Capture Changes Everything

Sky Sports’ Duncan East examines the revolutionary project

Video analysis is very much a one-dimensional experience, with analysts relying on flat images taken from one angle at a time to provide insights into athletic performance. At the 2019 Open Championship, Sky Sports changed all that with the use of 120 cameras to capture volumetric video of the world’s best golfers in action.

The question now is, what does volumetric mean for your organization? At the 2019 SVG Summit, Duncan East, head of directors and creative, Sky Sports, breaks down the project and wrestles with what it means for the future of sports television with Ken Kerschbaumer, executive director, editorial services, SVG.
