In some embodiments, the media application receives a selection of a possible scoring scenario from a user. For example, the media application may receive a gesture selection indicating the user selected rushing touchdown from a list of possible scoring scenarios 125. In some embodiments, the media application analyzes the selected possible scoring scenarios to determine a player participating in the live sporting event whose performance could satisfy the first possible scoring scenario. For example, if the selected scoring scenario is a rushing touchdown, then the media application may determine that J. McKinnon from the San Francisco 49ers can satisfy the selected scenario. The media application may emphasize, in the video 105 of the live sporting event, the determined player using, for example, halo 129.
In some embodiments, the media application receives video of live sporting events to be displayed on a user device (also known as user equipment) and processes video of the live sporting events using an object recognition module to determine characteristics of the event (e.g., the identities of players on the field of play, the location of an object of play, etc.). As used herein, an “object recognition module” is any device or application that may be associated with, incorporated into, or accessed by the media application or the user equipment upon which the media application is implemented and tasked with finding a given object and/or determining characteristics about the object in an image or video.
