A recent soccer game strapped some players with body cameras.
As Kotaku reports, a pre-season friendly match was scheduled yesterday, which was played by AC Milan and Germany's FC Koln. However, yesterday's game was a little bit different in the field of soccer.
The soccer teams tried something that has never been done before; they strapped cameras to some of the players so that anyone watching from home could get as close to the action as possible.
The players who had a body cam strapon were Milan's Olivier Giroud and Germany's Tim Limperle.
By attaching a body cam to Tim Limperle, the body cam was able to record incredible footage of their team's goal from yesterday's match against AC Milan.
Fans were given the opportunity to view the objective from Limperle's point of view by way of a post on the company's Instagram feed.
The testing of strapping around cameras did not involve all of the players. The body camera was tested on selected players of the teams only.

Soccer Body Cam: AC Milan and FC Koln
According to Sport Bible, the recent soccer match between AC Milan and FC Koln used a body cam that was designed by MindFly.
MindFly provides a unique experience to viewers through a player's First-Person Point of View. This is done through an end-to-end resolution where the chosen players are strapped with an ultra lightweight wearable MindFly AI BodyCam.
The cameras used by the players are capable of stabilizing themselves and auto direct its focus, which emulates the work of a camera person and also records the game in high quality resolution in 4K.
The most recent experiment with the most cutting-edge technology in soccer provides spectators with an entirely new matchday experience.
As a result of referees and players being provided with body cameras and microphones, spectators will have the opportunity to feel as though they are right there on the field with the action.
The video released yesterday provided a one of a kind first person perspective using the body cam when used in action.
The camera provided a personal look at everything, from the pregame handshakes up until the match itself.
First Person Perspective in Sports
FIFA is not the only one who thought of this kind of innovation. Providing high quality definition and resolution to fans when they watch is one of the goals of airing sports shows.
With that, aside from the game of soccer, the NBA has also entertained that idea.
The NBA Metaverse is now on its way for avid fans to experience what it is like to be close to the players and offer a different perspective.
As iTechPost previously reported, in January, the NBA's Brooklyn Nets also ventured to provide first person view to their fans and to all of the basketball enthusiasts.
This strategy became their entrance to the metaverse world. The Brooklyn Nets designed the game to let it be another outlet of enjoyment for the fans and also give them a feeling of what it is like during the game.
The Brooklyn Nets became the first American sports franchise to join the NBA Metaverse as a result of this development, and as a result, they came up with the phrase "Netaverse."
Through the use of a 360-degree virtual reality headset, fans of the Brooklyn Nets will be able to experience a unique and personal first-person view of the famous Barclays Center.
As a result of dozens of high-powered cameras being strategically placed throughout the Barclays Center, spectators will be able to view and enjoy the game regardless of where they are located within the arena.
It doesn't matter if they're sitting on the bench, under the basket, or smack dab in the middle of the court: the virtual reality game gives its players the feeling of being right there in the action.
