CBC is doing this 360 degree streaming video thing done by 11 cameras stitched together. You get to see the game as if you were watching it from the bench, and you can control where you look:

Man this rocks, in a few years they will probably improve image quality and this will be amazing.

 

[Mafo]

wow this is awesome

 

[Merranza]

Btw, this is 100th year anniversary game tonight. Ceremonies before the game were pretty amazing and the game is really intense up to now.

 

[Mafo]

this is so fluid that im shocked and happily surprised
the only thing that sucks is you dont see the uptight action, but imagine they had 22 cameras, 11 in each end, behind the goalie net

that camera in regular broadcasting (directly behind goal wide look out, usually done on a PP) is my fav and this basically mimics it but lets me control it

 

[Merranza]

Cammalleri is fucking dominating

 

[RC]

at this rate they'll get 10 goals

 

[Lone_Predator]

very cool

cheers for the heads up

 

[Bop]

Awesome cam. I'm surprised how well it works! I thought for sure it would blow. Thanks!
