This ingenious weightless camera is changing live sports forever

Several times during the men’s final of the Madrid Open tennis tournament between Casper Ruud and Jack Draper last spring, TV viewers were treated to a remarkable camera perspective. They watched the match from just behind the baseline, effortlessly following the player’s movement step for step and glimpsing his perfect angle on the ball with every shot. 

With no discernible blur or delays, the smoothly flowing live footage had the hyper-real feel of a video game.

“I love the footwork by the cameraman,” wrote one YouTube commenter. 

The company now uses the comment in its investor pitch deck. 

In reality, these uncanny tracking shots didn’t involve any human camera operators at all. No robotic cameras or drones, either. Instead they were generated, in real time, with a software-based camera system developed by startup Muybridge, based in Oslo.
