How would you like to be able to enjoy the sports stadium experience, only from the comfort of home? Technicolor demos a technology promising that at CES 2012.
Named Personalised Content Rendering, the technology merges feeds from x6 cameras to create a panoramic view users can control-- not only panning form left to right, but even zooming in and out of the picture.
The demo system at CES was supposed a Microsoft Kinect for control via head and eye movement tracking, even if a technical snafu (and too many passers-by) forced Technicolour to employ a trackball instead.
The technology is still young, but Technicolor promises it will be commercially available within the next few years. It does show great potential, and could bespectacular for sports and concert broadcasts.
