Sport
- An answer for a comprehensive viewing of sport events.
- Courses boats, car rallies, golf competitions, each of these disciplines present visual difficulties for the public.
- The dimensions of the space where the event takes place, the complexity of the competition rules can bring troubles for a good following media events.
- It is generally assumed that visualizes short phases of the game, the results and outcomes.
- Real time 3D representation makes possible the combination of a comprehensive data display and tacticals informations.


Since 1995, the team K-racter is a partner of the Royal Productions Society for monitoring sailing races in real time.

The K-racter real-time visualization system can produce "broadcast quality" live racing 3D images.

Like any high-level sport event, the rules of watercraft races are difficult to be followed by newcomers.
The overall visualization of boats trajectories often be incomprehensible in the broadcast video render.

The technique of virtual images and 3D simulation in real time give to the public additional informations and tactical situations and show the steps of the most complex moments of these competitions.
It provides not only the opportunity to follow the boat progression, but also to replay tactical phases.
Each boat, each buoy marking the route is equipped with a GPS beacon and transmit each second the positioning information of the fleet on the water.

The system generates a 25 digital images flow per second in "broadcast quality" and provides the interface with the film director of the event.
A total time of less than 3 seconds between the race and Virtual retransmission is necessary.


This expertise combined with mastery of live streaming of Web 3D visualization were able to give all the world interested parties the opportunity to follow on Internet the Championship ORMA 9 Telecom Multihull 2001.
It is now possible to follow the race live in 3D real time on the Internet site of the event.
Users see the trajectories of direct participants in the races as well as many tactical data.
It can also replay some phases of the race from the desired angle of view.
