The big idea
At some soccer games, basketball games, and even kids' tournaments, AI cameras follow the ball and players AUTOMATICALLY — no human cameraperson needed. Cool, but sometimes it gets fooled!
Some examples
- AI cameras can follow a soccer ball... and sometimes the ref's bald head.
- Live-streamed kids' games often use AI cameras now.
- AI can zoom in on a goal scorer instantly.
- Mistakes happen — like the famous 'AI followed bald head, not ball' story.
Try it!
Watch a sports clip on YouTube. Notice how the camera moves smoothly — sometimes that's AI!
