Pretty Amazing Use Of Technology

Amazed that other television stations don't use this tool to expand their viewing audience.

For those of you who haven't seen this before you will be amazed at what can be done with this augmented table. This video clip is from the Danish television coverage during the 2018 Tour de France. If you want to grow the popularity of something you need world class tools and this is a prime example of just that.

Most television coverage in sports uses a touch screen but this looks so much better and interesting. I just don't understand that something that has been around for a few years now and yet we haven't seen it being used more regularly on the Tour broadcasts around the world. I try and watch the coverage every day and have never seen this before. Maybe the station that broadcasts it here doesn't have budgets for this kind of stuff.

A touch screen would not be able to show you how riders time trial as a team explaining certain crucial aspects. Here the presenter is showing how riders achieve the speeds they do and how they ride protecting each other with the wind direction.Anyone who didn't know this before would certainly understand the details that go into the thought processes of why riders ride the way they do. Crosswinds are crucial in a road race and have cost many riders lost time by being caught out by the race breaking up due to their positioning on the road.

A vast majority of the television audience is ignorant on certain aspects and this would create more fans who now understood the finer details. The more you know the more you will enjoy the sport creating more fans due to something as simple as this.

Augmented reality television has been used for some time now in the presentations of sports shows and events. The producers say it makes the show more professional and tells the story way better than they could in the past. They don't have to repeat a players statistics as it will just pop up letting the viewer see the information. We have seen the graphics in the gaming world improve year on year as technology advances and soon being able to tell the difference from reality will be almost impossible.

This is the best football can come up with right now which is a touch screen video with arrows and indicators. It allows the presenters to move the players around individually highlighting good plays as well as defensive errors.I can't see the 3D being used in the same way it can for cycling as there are far more players and it is explaining certain moves that have happened live.

Who knows what we will be watching in 10 years time as quite possibly all this will be outdated and we will be wearing virtual reality head gear being positioned at the event itself. That would be pretty cool if that could happen as the entertainment and overall experience levels would have gone into a whole new world.
