Nuked This season the nets local broadcasts on yes network have used volumetric video capabilities. This time ESPN is using it to broadcast an entire game start to finish.
Built with Canon’s free-viewpoint video technology, it uses data capturing cameras around the court to carefully track player movement. It combines that data in real-time with 3D models that have been built of each player.

The arena is n’t as well as a game of NBA 2k22. It makes it hard to tell the difference between a normal broadcast and this rendered one.
The regular NBA broadcast is currently live on ESPN, while you can watch the NBA courtview broadcast on ESPNEWS or ESPN plus. A clip posted by the NBA on Twitter gives an idea of what it looks like, but I’ll wait for the game to end before I decide if this is really the future of broadcasting.
