Recreate Your Very Own Sports Environments


hello again everyone this is Chris with
watchmojo.com and I’m joined here with
Neil who’s with the company visual
sports and he’s going to demonstrate and
explain exactly how this interactive
virtual gaming system works so thank you
for joining us thank you thank you thank
you very okay so how does this work
what’s going on here so basically we
have we have four cameras that
essentially watch an object travel
through space that object can be a golf
ball it can be a soccer ball it can be a
football than via basketball as a person
kicks or you know pitches the ball into
the screen the cameras read and analyze
trajectory direction and ball speed you
guys must have put a lot of work into
building a software yeah I mean you know
our our company is an engineering
company we’re all you know mechanical
electrical and software engineers and
there’s quite a bit of physics that go
into determining how a golf ball flies
so this is software running I guess on a
PC is sort of that’s right everything’s
running off of the PC we developed the
software in house and it’s been a seven
year process I guess the advent of I
guess what’s considered off the now a
casual gaming market that sort of that
niche that Nintendo has carved out sort
of lubricated the way for you guys at
mint and sort of helped kickstart things
but I guess what differentiates you guys
is that you’re actually using real balls
and real and real sort of vino equipment
to do it is this something I could
actually use to maybe improve my game I
mean they are your analytics precise
enough that I can actually transfer
these skills to the real world
absolutely take off for example if you
have a tendency to slice the ball in
golf it’s going to show up here what was
the inspiration to take to get into this
I was actually my partner peter peterson
engineer he’s an electrical engineer
he’s also a big hockey fan and he
thought how could I improve my hockey
skills
I want to shoot on a goalie all the time
but there’s no goalie available what if
i took cameras created a piece of
software and could make a goalie move
according to where the puck was going so
what can we expect for you guys in the
future more games more games and more
games we’ve always had our six core
sports what we call the big six in North
America hockey soccer football baseball
basketball golf and as a company we want
to get into taking advantage of watching
objects travel through space which is
our core technology and then applying
them into other games like shooting
games and you know we also have plans
that one day those cameras won’t be
plugging into a PC but they’ll be
plugging into other consoles this is the
sort of thing that will trickle down to
us so we do appreciate reference and
this looks great absolutely thank you
very much
