NBA Summer League Spotlight: A Breeding Ground for Production-Tech Innovation

NBA Boards Noah's Shot-Tracking Ark

The following is an excerpt of the original article published by SVG.

The NBA is testing the Noah Basketball shot-trajectory tracking software, which uses a small Intel sensor on the basket to track the ball from the shooter's release point to exactly where it hits the basket to create a pinpoint trajectory. Summer League marks the first time the NBA has integrated the Noah Basketball system with a Vizrt plugin to create next-level shot-trajectory graphics.

This lends itself toward creating really interesting animated shot-chart graphics - not with just X's and O's but with actual lines depicting the angles of shots as they approach the basket, says NBA EVP, Media Operations and Technology, Steve Hellmuth. We're going to integrate it in the broadcast with a Vizrt plugin and [create] dynamic 3D shot charts for a shooter's quarter or half or full game, showing the arc of the ball on made or missed shots.

In addition to integrating these graphics into broadcasts to show fans the trajectory of shots, the technology is also being used for NBA Replay Center testing for goaltending and made shots.
