From PetaPixel:
The folks over at NHK’s (the Japan Broadcasting Corporation’s) Science & Technology Research Laboratory have developed a groundbreaking multi-viewpoint, motion-controlled camera rig that could very soon be changing the way we view sports, among many other potential applications.
The rig is a robotically controlled system that links one camera to eight sub-cameras, all of which are pointing at the same thing. Basically, it’s a bullet time rig that moves, enabling the people behind the lenses to take the technique of timeslicing to new heights.
Each camera has two motors that allow it to pan and tilt, as well as lens technology that allows for zoom. The operator controls all of the sub-cameras from one main camera. If one tilts, so do the rest; if one zooms, so do the rest — you get the picture.

lucky760That's great stuff and it's taking long enough to get here.
The Matrix really paved the way. (I can't believe that was released 14 years ago.)
