Company claims first virtual tennis event in the industry
 
Virtual sports developer and supplier Inspired Gaming Group (Inspired) announced the introduction of Virtual Tennis to its portfolio of horse racing, football, motor racing and cycling, this week.
 
Using motion capture techniques from the TV and Film industry, the twelve month development process involved a large team of engineers who filmed two of Britain's prominent tennis players in a specially designed venue housing sixty cameras that captured each individual movement to create an end product depicting true-to-life animated players.
 
Virtual Tennis includes an in-run betting option, a new feature to Virtual Sports, that follows the trend of live betting and allows customers to place, set and match bets during play.
 
A company spokesperson revealed it had already signed up three unnamed online sportsbooks for the new product.
