Soccer/Futbol Virtual Replays
This is way cool. Even if you are a dyed-in-the-wool, red-blooded, I-don't-watch-any-Football-that-doesn't-involve-pads-and-cheerleaders kind of person, you have to admit that this is very neat. In case you didn't know the European Championships are going on right now and the BBC has posted a great use of Flash with Virtual Replays.
Pick a game, then a goal and watch a 3D replay. Then the fun begins...you can change the speed, and change the perspective of the camera. Even better, pick a player and see the whole play develop from that player's perspective. Try the goal scorer, or even better, the goalie. This is a great use of Flash, even if you have no interest in soccer (but why wouldn't you?).
Hey, ESPN, get your act together and use this technology after next year's Super Bowl!
