Virtual Spectator "PlayTrac" is being used by Channel 9 Australia for time and motion study of AFL Footballers during live play and at half time for detailed analysis.

Developed and operated by Virtual Spectator, PlayTrac is unique in the sporting and television world.

All graphics are delivered through Pinnacle FX Deko Character Generators and our proprietary Virtual Reality servers to ensure the highest quality digital graphics available.

Player Track for television can be thought of in the following terms:

It's Low Tech
It's Cost Effective
It's easy to use
and It WORKS

Many companies including our own have concentrated on producing High Tech wiz bang applications to automate the tracking process. Whilst this is an admirable objective, it has a few problems:

It is very expensive to research and deliver
Broadcast budgets cannot accommodate it
It is complicated and requires a lot of technical support

With this in mind, Virtual Spectator have produced a system that is in use week in week out and never fails. It is affordable and it can be run by non-Virtual Spectator personnel.

PlayTrac can deliver the following graphics and data feeds to cater for any broadcast need:

Character generation style graphics through the Pinnacle FX Deko or a CG of your choosing
Compelling 3D Virtual Reality content through our VR Servers (Used extensively by Channel 9
    during Friday Night Football)
XML Data Streams for ITV and other uses

The system is ideal for any team sport and can deliver a unique set of graphics and statistics that will better tell the story of the game as it unfolds.
