Nikon-owned company MRMC has developed a robotic camera system that can film players on a sports field as well as a human would. Polycam Player uses image recognition to follow players across the field, framing tighter shots than the wide angles usually associated with automated camera systems. It is designed to complement, rather than replace, the work of human operators, by capturing shots that might otherwise be missed, or expanding the capacity of a small media team.
