Abstract
A method for enhancing broadcasts, such as sporting events. In one embodiment, data is received to create a synthetic scene comprising at least one dynamic synthetic object. Data reflective of at least one real dynamic object corresponding to the at least one dynamic synthetic object is also received. A synthetic scene is generated comprising the at least one dynamic synthetic object using data reflective of the at least one corresponding real dynamic object.
