Queenstown-raised graphics operator Cam Jackson’s working on his first NZ Open. While this New Zealand Open’s showcasing some amazing Queenstown golfers, another local’s getting involved for the first time in broadcasting the event. Cam Jackson, 25, is in a team of four graphics operators using virtual graphics and AI graphics to track the golfers’ shots. For the NZ Open, he says they also show off each hole ‘‘to give the TV viewers a good idea of what’s coming up’’. Having grown up in Queens-town, ‘‘it’s really cool to be able to do a home event rather than travelling elsewhere’’.
