Panasonic has for the past year been testing VOGO’s VOGO Sport video distribution system in Japan, and recently at the Winter Olympics, it continued to try out the multi-video distribution for figure skating.

While figure skating won’t be part of the Summer Olympics, the goal is to explore new ways to distribute live multi-angle videos to the smartphones and tablets of fans in-venue leading up to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Users can choose the angle they want to see, and at the Olympics, the system enabled instant replays, real-time zooming and slow motion video. That meant that for a quadruple jump, users could break down how it was executed.

 

France-based VOGO has brought this kind of video distribution to mobile devices for fans of a number of sports, including soccer, and Panasonic has been especially interested as it has tested it for golf.
