Every four years, when the Winter Olympics arrive, undoubtedly there are many people who don’t know exactly what every sport is. This year, for PyeongChang 2018, Al Jazeera sought to change that.
Using augmented reality, the Qatar-based network showed its viewers how curling, biathlon, skiing and bobsled, among others, actually work, according to a report by NewscastStudio.
To create the augmented reality visuals, the network used its large LED video walls and 3D models ranging from mannequins to ski slopes and bobsled courses, it was reported. The 3D models are motion tracked to create the AR effect on screen.
