FIFA Qualification Germany vs. Ireland
Once again, a Fraunhofer HHI team had the pleasure of taking out the OmniCam-360 and record a major athletic event.
This time, the event was the qualifying world championship soccer game between Ireland and Germany. Both soccer teams were eager to make the cut for the man’s world soccer championship in Brazil (2014). The game took place on October 11, 2013 in the Rheinenergie (Rhine Energy) Stadium in Cologne, Germany.
The OmniCam-360 at the midline of the soccer field recorded panoramic videos of the entire game. Thanks to the OmniCam technology the images covered the entire soccer field. The project was executed in collaboration with the TRIAD Berlin.
On December 17, 2013, world-famous Jon Bon Jovi and his band gave a concert in the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia. The OmniCam-360 was installed directly in front of the stage to record the event. The HHI team was there in time to practice their art of panoramic recording while the famous rock star practiced his performance.
In June 2013, the OmniCam-360 recorded the suspense-packed spectacular X-Games in the Munich Olympic Park. In the course of three days, professional skateboarders, bikers, cyclists, motocross riders and mountain bikers showed their skills.
In April 2013, a total of three in various places in the auditorim installed omnidirectional OmniCams recorded the concert of the US American rock band ‘Counting Crows’ in the famous Hammersmith Apollo entertainment center in London. The objective was to obtain an authentic recording of the rock band’s performance.
