Hammerhead is now
Dimension
Same teams. Same skills
New combined powers.
At the 148th Open Championship, Sky Sports launched Sky Scope: its new free-viewpoint swing analysis segment. Featuring an incredible use of volumetric capture technology, it allows a full 360-degree inspection of a golfer’s swing and for pundits to analyse it like never before.
The golfers were filmed in MRMC and Dimension’s new Polymotion Stage, the world’s first mobile 3-in-1 solution volumetric capture studio. Set up right on the practice range, golfers were in-and-out within minutes and their holograms were aired on Sky Sports only 48 hours later.

Following their success at The Open 2019, the volumetric golfers returned for Sky Sports' coverage of The Masters 2020. With the UK and much of the US in lockdown, the holograms meant enhanced and extended coverage, delivered from a remote studio.
Sky Scope has won awards for its technical innovation at both the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards and the SVG Sports TV Awards.
