ShotView
This year, NTT DATA is launching a first for golf at The Open – a new virtual viewing experience that allows viewers to select a course map of their choice and view every shot, player, hole, and round in real-time, via a Digital Twin.
The Digital twin is realized by reflecting color and texture from satellite images on a precise 3D golf course and reproducing ball position in real-time. This data will be incorporated into the Open.com leaderboard, live blog, and ShotView to provide an informative and engaging viewing experience for golf fans.
ShotView will be released on July 14 at 9:30 BST.
