VISION

Elevating Esports with Real-Time AR

We partnered with Riot Games to take Esports broadcasting to the next level for the highly-anticipated Wild Rift Icons Global Championship. Our team spent 5 weeks on-site in Singapore where we brought 85 champions out of the game, and into real life. Fans watching the livestream reveled in seeing their favorite champions live on stage in stunning real-time AR, each with custom-built FX (particles, fluids, smoke, flames). But we didn’t stop there, we also pumped up the energy with player entry portals, in addition to developing and implementing dynamic atmospheric stadium effects with full runtime controls for color, height and intensity. With over 500+ appearances of champion AR, this event was a testament to the power of real-time AR to immerse audiences and push the boundaries of broadcast engagement.
