This paper describes a system for visualizing sword trajectories in fencing. Fencing swords are very thin and move so fast that it is difficult for audiences to follow their movements even in slow-motion video replays. The system thus tracks the tips of the swords in the image coordinates and visualizes their movements with computer graphics (CG). We call it "Sword Tracer."
