First Claim
1. A method for customized viewing of visual media comprising:
- identifying at least one object involved in a sporting event using electronic identification, said electronic identification being specific to the object;
capturing real-time visual media of the sporting event using at least one visual capture device, wherein the visual capture device has a sensor for recognizing said electronic identification;
marking said captured real-time visual media with the electronic identification recognized by said visual capture device;
storing said captured real-time visual media on a computer database;
storing electronic information tags about the object on said computer database, said electronic information tags being stored on said computer database along with the electronic identification;
encoding said stored real-time visual media into a variety of display formats;
providing selection matrixes for said encoded and stored real-time visual media, wherein said selection matrixes includes a list of said objects involved in said sporting event and a list of said information tags;
filtering said real-time visual media by selecting at least one item from said selection matrixes; and

Abstract
The customized viewing of an event, such as a sports event, includes identifying an object in the sports event with an identification device, capturing visual media such as photograph(s) or video of said sports event and marking the visual media upon the recognition of the object by a camera. The captured visual media is encoded into a variety of display formats for easy viewing on any selected display device. Electronic information tags include real-time and/or historical information specific for the object and is stored on a database and linked with a unique identification used to identify the object. A user selects items such as object(s) and tag(s) from selection matrixes for the captured visual media and produces a filtered visual media that is customized to the viewing desires of that user.
