This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
I was at the airport and there was an NBA game on tv and on another tv were Disney characters playing basketball. It took me a while to realize it was the same game.
As a software developer (previously game developer) I was very impressed with how good the tracking was. Not just position, but complicated moves, dribbling the ball between their legs, facial animations, everything with less than a 10 second lag.
The Disney version was way more fun to watch.
This is what we have before the government invests $500 billion USD into AI ~~surveillance~~ research, imagine what we'll have after!
I mean, aside from a shit ton of new H-1B hires.
(To be clear, I have nothing against the hires themselves, but the fraud and deception used to skip past qualified domestic labor. The money earned by visa holders being spent overseas is also concerning since that money loses any velocity it has within the American economy).
I like the idea, as I'm not a tennis fan, but the 3d models are too poor quality. It looks like some quick indie project, or as a result of a hackathlon, not something from top class sport event. Or was it only an internal demo, and leaked somehow?
It might not be great, but it's something. As a life long fan since the Bjorg era, not being able to watch tournaments for years has been kind of deflating.
Around 15 years ago my brother and I worked on an RFID based limb and ball tracking prototype. The idea would be to allow instant replays of sporting events from any possible angle.
We never got funding to complete the project, and transmission interference was always tricky.
This is kind of awesome. Also, there's an extra * in your link
Fat fingers. Thank you for catching that.
