A soccer game where you can watch the match through the eyes of any player on the field. Instead of looking down from above, you become the striker or the keeper and experience the game as them.
Have you ever watched Messi and wondered what the game looks like from his point of view? Project Horizon explores identity through perspective. In sports, a player’s identity is shaped not only by their actions, but by how they perceive the game: positioning, timing, awareness, and decision-making. Reconstructing a first-person POV from third-person footage using novel machine learning techniques, we let viewers momentarily inhabit another identity. Project Horizon is an AI system that converts third-person videos into realistic first-person POV footage. Users can select any player in a soccer video and experience the game exactly as that player would see it.
