Abstract

Motorbike racing is one of the most popular motorsports and many fans visit circuits to watch races. However, since audiences and pit crews can only obtain limited information, it is difficult for them to get detailed information about teams except for high ranking teams and few popular teams. To solve this problem, we have already presented an information browsing system for pit crews who used wearable computers. This paper describes an extension to the system. We also applied our system to racing audiences. Since our system can provide various information such as detailed ranking tables and favorite teams, it can make supporting the teams more advantageous and entertain audiences much more.
