Skills of Páidí Ó Sé and Christy Ring to be tackled in three dimensions

Páidí Ó Sé, Christie Ring, Sean Flanagan, and other sporting legends past and present will be handing on their skills to a new generation thanks to the marvels of technology.

Gaelic football, camogie and the warrior sport of hurling are all being digitised, with every move and skill from the puck out to the hand pass being captured by the same kind of motion-capture technology Hollywood uses in films like The Hobbit.

Clubs and players all over the world will be able to take lessons from the best as part of a huge research programme to capture the games and teach the skills, and players will also be able to play against their sporting hero.
