Mumbai: Star Sports and Quidich Innovation Labs partnered to produce an augmented reality (AR) event during the Tata IPL 2022 final match between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals.
During the innings break, TV viewers were presented with an augmented reality show featuring a majestic eagle that swooped into the stadium.
Star Sports and Quidich Innovation Labs created this AR showcase using an Unreal Engine, a powerful real-time 3D game engine, coupled with Quidich’s proprietary real-time drone tracking system, Spatio.
The final match witnessed a record attendance attracting a crowd of 1,04,859. The AR showcase transformed the sky above Narendra Modi stadium where the match was held.
