The Voyager 2020 software is now being used in both of the current round the world events - the VendC)e Globe race, and Ellen MacArthur's attempt on the solo round the world record.
Voyager 2020 is said to be unique in that it creates three outputs for race managers, all from the same core code – it creates 3D graphics for television,
2D maps for websites, and the full 3D animation package for the end-user on a PC.
Offshore Challenges Group have invested in Voyager 2020 to help advance the communication of relatively complicated sports like sailing.
Said CEO Mark Turner: “Applications like this 3D animation tool are critical for many sports, in particular ocean racing, to bring better understanding for the mainstream public, yet at the same time allow the core supporters to get even further under the skin of the event.”
