Vizrt's new Object Tracker, powered by Viz AI, and used for the first time at the 2022 Daytona 500, allows the detection and tracking of objects, in this case, race cars, over any incoming video feed. The simplicity and non-intrusiveness are some of the key strengths of the new object tracker – no complex camera tracking or other data inputs are required; a video signal is all you need to apply the ground-breaking AI technology. Once an object has been selected by the user, Vizrt's powerful 3D graphics can be applied to it. This gives the viewer contextually rich insights without having to look away from the action.
