Viz Engine and Vizrt XR Set
Vizrt has announced that ITV Sport, one of the UK’s leading broadcasters, is using the Vizrt XR (Extended Reality) Set for Augmented Reality graphics in partnership with AE Live for the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship.
AE Live has partnered with ITV to create a suite of core and augmented reality (AR) graphics that blend with its physical and virtual studio, enhancing its coverage of Euro 2020. Rendered using Vizrt’s Viz Engine solution and controlled using the Vizrt XR Set solution, the AR graphics include player profiles, team rosters, country banners, hero banners and floor maps. The workflow has been designed to provide producers with an easy-to-use toolkit for customizing the graphics for each match, as well as displaying the latest statistics and data.
Euro 2020 was postponed last year due to COVID-19 and with fans eagerly awaiting the start of the tournament, it was important that the visuals were impressive from the start. The match between Scotland and England, broadcast recently on ITV, was watched by over 20 million viewers.
For a variety of indoor and outdoor productions, Vizrt XR Set augmented reality, virtual staging and video wall tools enhance the viewer experience across a workflow. This is one of five Vizrt Solution Suites available exclusively through Flexible Access, allowing customers to customize and scale their production software to meet rapidly changing production needs.
