New four-camera system pioneers the future of motorsport viewing
The future of motorsport viewing is set to take another step forward as MotoGP has revealed live, OnBoard, 360 degree coverage.
The new 360 live feed can take fans on a spectacular pillion ride, on board with the world’s fastest motorcycle racing championship.
The technology is a pioneer in the field and takes OnBoard viewing to a new level. Dorna has named the project and four-camera system Zoetrope, the name of a pre-film animation device originating in the nineteenth century, which comes from the Greek for life – zoe – and turning – tropos.

The idea was born from the concept of allowing fans to ride as a passenger with the world’s fastest motorcycle riders, with live 360 a key focus of Dorna’s long-running and ongoing commitment to OnBoard technology.
Fans will have access to the new development via motogp.com and on the Official MotoGP app while footage will also be made available to broadcasters.
