Sports fanatics can experience the game from the perspective of their favorite players with the FANs Cam concept camera.
A short form for Free Angle and Naked Camera, the FANs Cam is a small, unobtrusive device that is meant to be clipped onto the neckline of a player's jersey. The viewers can use their smartphones to choose a player, getting info and statistics about each one to help them make their decision. Then they get to watch the entire match from the perspective of that player's camera. This camera lets fans feel as though they are on the field as the game is played.
The FANs Cam gives fans an up close and personal perspective of the players and the game.
