Abstract

The present invention is an entertainment system for multitudes of sport'"'"'s spectators to help them follow the movements of players and play objects on the play areas of sport'"'"'s venues in past games and in real time games during sporting events and help with making fouling and scoring decisions. The invention uses generic surveillance sources to capture the instantaneous real time and historic continuous data streams of geographic coordinates of the players and their play objects during their movements, and displays the data as scaled animated tracks of the players and the play object on the screens of the spectator'"'"'s personal smart mobile devices (includes smart devices, mobile devices) under the control of a mobile app. The tracks are displayed on a backdrop which is an animated rendering of the play area. The tracks and the backdrop are calculated to have the same scale to assure their alignment on the screen together.
