Sky Media uses augmented reality from Vizrt for in-show

Translated from German.

The Jeep Compass was innovatively added to the Sky Bundesliga (German football league) studio last Saturday as the first European augmented reality case for an advertising partner in the editorial environment. When the winner of Sky Game of Life was announced, show sponsor Jeep was integrated into the program by having an augmented reality version of the vehicle drive from the video wall into the studio.

Sky used state-of-the-art technology from Vizrt and NCAM to implement the augmented reality graphics in conjunction with the LED screen in the new Sky Sport HQ.

Boris Haug, Vice President Product, Brand Solutions & Operations, Sky Media: Sky Sport HQ offers the best quality through the latest technology and maximum flexibility. The modern presentation of the Jeep Compass in Augmented Reality shows the extensive creative scope, especially for advertising but also editorial innovations can be implemented in our broadcasting center.
