Project: Orienteering & TV in the Future

The goal of the "Orienteering & TV in the Future" project is to increase the quality of TV broadcasts from orienteering races and raise the standards by increasing knowledge and making best practice manuals.

This work includes:

Gathering information and opinions from TV people/producers
Gather and "review" previous international and national TV-productions to identify concepts that work/do not work
Description and practical use of known technical solutions
Matching disciplines with production concepts - set up "scripts" for TV-productions
Identify future research & development areas - especially related to technical solutions (e.g. tracking, virtual runners 3D graphics, wireless cameras etc.)
Get support from as many related groups/people as possible in order to collect information and opinions

One important tool in the project is the webpage orienteering-tv.net. The webpage is a wiki-type page - the project hopes to get a group of contributors building up knowledge in this field which is very important for the future of the sport.

The project is non-profit and lead by Jan Kocbach. Please contact Jan Kocbach on e-mail if you are interested in contributing to the project. In its initial form the project is planned to have no running costs.
