Press Release: EU tech captures the movements of Pelota and Gaelic Football, Hurling and Camogie sport heroes

Five Basque Pelota players and four Gaelic Football, Hurling and Camogie athletes were in Oxford's Audiomotion studios in October 2014. High-tech motion capture technologies from Vicon watched their every move, as part of the EU-funded project RePlay. Exceptional HD footage produced will be available for cultural and sport organisations. You will be able to see in museums and/or on online platforms such as Europeana. The research team also develops a system based on low-cost sensors and an open source 3D software to be used in all interested clubs. It will be tested as from 2015 and will help youngsters learn traditional sports. It will also enable experienced players to improve their skills.
