Utilizing the most up-to-date technologies to maximize the football experience, FIFA introduced many innovations into our lives, especially at the World Cup held in Qatar. Today, we are here with one of the most impressive of these innovations.
FIFA’s mobile application, FIFA+, is hosting a new feature for those watching matches at the stadium. Thanks to the feature, viewers can follow the names of the players, the position of the ball and much more live on their phone’s camera during the match.
Here’s what the feature in FIFA’s mobile app looks like:
So how does this feature work?
The feature of FIFA we see above is possible thanks to a technology that we call ‘augmented reality’, which is gaining more and more place in our lives day by day. The image taken from the phones camera is combined with the real-time data of FIFA, and the data and the image are displayed together in the application.
FIFA teamed up with wTVision in June 2021 to make this feature possible. The technology developed by vTVision and TVTEL becomes reality by analyzing the image from the camera remotely, capturing the video in real time and presenting it to the user by putting graphics on it.
Projected graphics are produced with vTVision’s FootballStats CG V5 graphics controller, AR Football augmented reality software, and the real-time 3D rendering engine R Space Engine.
The technology can also be used in many leagues in the future:
The 2022 World Cup actually serves as a technology testing ground for FIFA as well. All the technologies we see here are planned to enter our lives as a standard in the future.
