ABSTRACT:
Watching sports with digital television can be much more interactive than what we currently experience. The ability to skip through a sporting event intelligently (e.g., from play to play) or to switch from one camera angle to another places much more control in the hands of the viewer. We introduce the Time Warp Football project, which provides these types of new interactions for watching football. Then we propose the Time Warp Sports Framework. A television framework is a structure for showing varying video content with a common look and feel to the viewer. A framework also provides tools for streamlining the content production process. The Time Warp Sports Framework will provide the ability to create a highly interactive experience for watching a variety of sports.
