NDP 2026: How a Spidercam will bring the action closer to those at home
The 2026 National Day Parade in Singapore will utilize Spidercam technology to provide viewers at home with cinematic, aerial perspectives of the event. This marks the first time the parade returns to the National Stadium since 2016.
Why it matters
It demonstrates how advanced broadcast technology is being used to enhance the viewer experience for large-scale national events.
The Spidercam brings "a whole new angle to the show that I think you don't get in other editions of NDP", says camera director Roger Ng.
