ESPN HAS INTRODUCED AR TO REFRESH THE PRESENTATION OF ITS LONG RUNNING SPORTS DISCUSSION SHOW
VIVA ESPANA Sports shows in Spain, including Tot Esport and Tot Futbol, use AR systems from wTVision, based in Lisbon
Champions , wTVision has created an AR ceiling with virtual video walls. Its Studio CG product controls all the graphics. For this project, wTVision uses three cameras tracked by Redspy with Viz Studio Manager and three Vizrt engines with the AR output covering the ceiling of the real set and the virtual fourth wall. The same solution is being used for the show Viva La Liga , in a collaboration with La Liga TV International. AR is also being used for analytical overlay during live football. Launched in August, wTVision’s, AR³ Football is able to generate AR graphics for analysis of offside lines and freekick distances from multiple camera angles. The technology allows a director to switch cameras. The system then auto-recalibrates the AR and it takes a couple of seconds to appear on air. Realistic and customisable AR for broadcast has only just matured, but it is already delivering extraordinary results. It may not be long before AR content outshines the reality it’s augmenting.
