MADRID, April 4 — Adidas has implanted six HD cameras into one of its official match balls for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and will be streaming films capturing 360-degree action views in the run up to the tournament.

The Brazucam ball will be traveling the world and documentary-style films will be streamed weekly from the ball's official Twitter account @brazuca as part of the brand's World Cup campaign.

Each of the films, part of a series entitled “Brazuca Around the World,” will be filmed from the perspective of the ball, which features custom-made image stabilisation software.
