Sparkling tech showcased at Rio Olympics (5)

Smart sports cameras

Getty Images, the official photo agency of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), is using brand new robotic technology developed by Mark Roberts Motion Control to extend the reach of their photographers at multiple venues for the 2016 Games. Specially designed rigs will give photographers more control over remote secondary cameras, letting them alter the vantage point and lens focal length, and even providing the option to rotate the camera a full 360 degrees.
