Sliver.tv rakes in $9.8M in funding, advances VR broadcasting technology

A recent report from Parks Associates suggested AI’s benefits can be extended beyond content production and enhancement.

“AI-enabled systems will also be increasingly used in content creation decisions, revealing topical areas or genre-related trends that have previously gone unnoticed in the noise of big data,” Parks said in a recent report. “Using these tools will allow producers and distributors to better predict and fund content that will draw audiences.”

At the heart of Sliver.tv's approach is its patented virtual camera array technology that captures 2D games played on a PC such as "Counter Strike: Global Offensive" and "League of Legends," and renders in real-time a fully immersive 360° in-world stream.
