Stephen Lynn, a Computer Science PhD student, recently received the best paper award at the European Interactive Television conference in Levan, Belgium. The paper, which he coauthored with Brett Partridge (CS Alum) and Dan Olsen (CS Faculty), is entitled "Time Warp Football." Using internet television technology from Move Networks and video obtained from the BYU Football office, they created a prototype of how television over the Internet can change the viewing experience. Time Warp Football allows the viewer to select the camera angle, replays, displays of statistics and most other facets of the game view experience. When the officials rule on a really close case of pass interference, the viewers themselves can work through all of the different camera angles and replay the play from as many of them as they desire.
