MOTI Mobile Camera Controls for Drills provides the user with dynamic options to review and study drills. From tracking a player on the field to viewing a drill from overhead to actually being the player, the camera controls provide a multitude of options.
The review of the camera modes will be divided into 4 different parts. Topics for the 4 parts are:
- Motion Controls and Overview (this article) – Part 1 will introduce the motion controls available to the user (finger-gestures and on-screen joysticks) and provide a high-level overview of each of the camera modes.
- Pivot-In-Place and Rotate-Around-Location – Part 2 covers two modes that provide a very flexible overview of a drill. As a note, Pivot-In-Place is the default mode when a drill starts.
- Follow-Player, Follow-Ball, Track-Player, and Track-Ball – Part 3 will explore the ‘follow’ and ‘tracking’ options. These modes facilitate focusing on specific player/ball in a complex drill.
