Gamecaster Inc. is an American corporation based in San Diego, California. The company holds a patent in virtual camera control technology. According to Teamxbox.com, Gamecaster is responsible for creating "the world’s first video game camera".[1] This technology is responsible for combining video gaming and the broadcasting of sports events; thus introducing video gaming as a spectator sport. According to CBS news, "The ability to broadcast from within the game completely changes the way people view video game competitions."[2] In 2008, IGN wrote, "If Gamecaster has its way, video game competitions will become just as much a part of American television viewing as the Super Bowl or the World Series."[3]
