This solution included an array of augmented reality (AR) graphics, featuring 3D-modelled stadia, group tables and interactive maps of the host country, Russia, across multiple cameras using Stypegrip’s Red Spy tracking system. 

Also at the World Cup, AE Graphics provided the graphics elements for the BBC’s eye-catching studio at Red Square in Moscow.

For SuperSport AE Graphics designed a touchscreen system, including a fully integrated analysis system that was controlled by pundits using a tablet device driving AR content on the studio floor, and imitating the touchscreen analysis graphics displayed on the large studio screen. The company stated this, “offered a truly immersive feel”.
