Delegates will be able to watch the seminar on the big screens inside the auditorium where the live camera feed will be augmented in real-time with the relevant football graphics.

The session will see representatives of BBC Sport, Sky Germany and Sky Sports discuss their AR graphics output, explaining how and why they do it, sharing best practice and demonstrating their work.

AR graphics created for coverage of the FIFA World Cup, the English Premier League and the German Bundesliga will all be showcased.

The speakers are BBC Sport creative director, Motion John Murphy, Sky Germany vice president of sports production Alessandro Reitano and Sky Sports innovation manager Mike Ruddell.
