TU Delft introduces unique experience app for sailing enthusiasts

Imagine yourself as a real sailor on board with your favourite sailing team, being able to witness the strategic manoeuvres of World Championship sailors from up close. With the Sailing+ Experience app - a technology developed by researchers from TU Delft - this long-held dream of every sailing enthusiast becomes reality. This innovative app uses real-time data tracking, visualisations and Augmented Reality (AR) to provide an unprecedented viewing experience of the Sailing World Championships. It gives users the opportunity to watch sailing races from different angles and gain insight into sailors' tactical decisions. The launch of the Sailing+ Experience app will take place on Monday 14 August during the Allianz Sailing World Championships in Scheveningen. Elmar Eisemann, Professor of Computer Graphics & Visualization TU Delft "With the Sailing+ Experience app, we want to offer a solution to the frustration felt by both sailors and spectators. For competitors, it is a pity that their efforts sometimes go unseen and spectators often miss crucial moments during spectacular sailing races.
