videogames by using light-sensitive reflectors on real athletes, which
enables the movements of the player to be "captured" and programmed
into the videogame.  Jerome Bettis was one of many players who was
motion-captured at Sony Interactive Studios America San Diego for NFL
GameDay '98. Media will have the opportunity to see how NFL GameDay
'98 was made, as well as observe top NFL players being motion-captured
