This is some futuristic stuff, I can’t quite believe that we get to see Rugby played at this angle.
It was announced earlier this month that Canon had teamed up with World Rugby to provide some stunning new camera angles for the World Cup.
“TOKYO, Japan, September 17, 2019/ — Canon Inc. (Global.canon) announced today that during seven matches of Rugby World Cup 2019, to be held from September 20 to November 2, the company will provide highlight footage created by the Free Viewpoint Video System to the International Games Broadcast Services (IGBS). These video highlights feature viewpoints and angles not possible with conventional cameras, effectively conveying the thrill of such sports as rugby and delivering an experience that feels like being right on the field.
