THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE TENNIS VISUALIZATION
AND ANALYSIS TOOL
Working with Live Motion Company (LMC) of Wiesbaden, Germany,
QuesTec announces a contract for the research, development and
distribution of a virtual replay, broadcast enhancement system for the sport of tennis.
Similar to our SuperVisionSM pitch tracking system for baseball, the
TennisProViewTM system will quickly display the tennis ball's trajectory, speed, movement and location. Also similar to SuperVisionSM, TennisProViewTM will be used as a television replay and analysis tool for commentators.
Television Analysis
The TennisProViewTM system will complement the television broadcast of Professional Tennis worldwide by providing the network a unique replay option on serves, critical "kill" shots and close line calls. In addition,TennisProViewTM will instantly gives the announcers critical analysis information which has never been available before. TennisProViewTM will display the complete path of a serve or other important shots including the speed, curve and location of the ball.
TennisProViewTM will allow the broadcaster to analyze the tennis match in many innovative new ways, the first of which will be to display the complete path of the serve along with its speed, location and curve.
Because TennisProViewTM is a 3-dimensional simulation, it can be
viewed from any angle or zoom level, allowing viewers and/or commentators to view the ball's location from any
court angle and any location in respect
to the line.
The system will also have the ability to display "spray" charts of serve locations, breakdown the difference between first and second serves and display the difference between "rocket-shot" serves and looping, slicing
serves.
Because of the speeds reached by the ball during tennis matches, innovative new technology has been developed based on our patented SuperVisionSM tracking system. This tennis tracking system is due to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1998. |
