Panasonic has had a sponsorship agreement with Neymar Jr. since 2010, and his greatest appeal, of being able to excite and delight people with his awe-inspiring, top caliber techniques, represents what the company aims to do, to bring a sense of “wonder” through its products and services. Inspired by Neymar Jr.’s fantastically imaginative “CRAZY SKILLS,” Panasonic has set out to offer a groundbreaking viewing experience, allowing the public to appreciate his genius from never-before-seen angles. Videos of special plays from Neymar’s past matches have been selected and archived as motion capture data, and using the latest graphic technology, these true-to-life 3D images are shared with people around the world.

Going forward, new plays chosen by the football website, "Goal.com" and football celebrities will be updated regularly, and by the end of 2015, 6 more additional plays will be available.
