Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a high-speed, fast-tracking camera that could revolutionise sports coverage.

The camera is still in the testing phase, but in-lab demos have been highly successful and the university is starting to test the camera outside.

The camera uses a group of lenses and mirrors that flick rapidly so that the camera doesn't have to move.

The camera, which focuses on the ball rather than predicting its movement, may change how baseball and soccer are viewed.


Warning: if squeamish, do not watch! Viewer descretion is advised. 


Assistant Professor of The University of Tokyo Hiromasa Oku is confident explains how the camera works: "Ordinarily, to change the direction a camera faces, you move the camera mechanically," he said.

"But in this system it's not the camera that moves, it's the mirrors.

"This makes it possible to change where you're looking really quickly.

"The camera captures and processes an image every 1/1000th of a second."
