During Saturday’s anticipated soccer matchup between Barcelona and Real Madrid, now dubbed El Clasico, Intel’s 360-degree replay technology will be on full display.
With both Camp Nou and Santiago Bernabeau — home of the respective clubs — now equipped with the replay system, La Liga becomes the first European soccer league to have the technology permanently installed at any of its stadiums. The 3D replays will give fans and broadcasters the ability to see any play from any angle. Additionally, it is the first time the El Clasico matchup will integrate the technology.
“The incorporation of 360-degree technology will help to continue to improve perceptions of match broadcasts, complementing the innovations previously introduced by La Liga through the regulations on television broadcasts,” Melcior Soler, Director of La Liga’s audiovisual department, said in a statement.
