FOX Sports has renovated its Charlotte studio for the upcoming NASCAR season with new augmented reality and virtual reality technology. The new set will debut in February 2019 and will bring an array of new 3D graphic capabilities to Fox’s coverage.
The network has teamed with VR production company Zero Density to implement features that will make use of the studio’s large 50ft-by-47ft green screen area. Studio analysts can trigger augmented reality features on set via Blacktrax 3D tracking technology, making the Fox Sports studio appear to be on the racetrack, or give the appearance of a virtual race car emerging through the set.
