More and more live entertainment companies are exploring 3D virtual worlds as a new content distribution channel, to engage audiences in new ways and explore new monetization opportunities. Sports has always been at the forefront of innovation and has been using data to augment the viewing experience for many years. Now we see important technology waves come together to change live sports entertainment forever.
This talk discusses how advances in artificial intelligence is making live 3D data, for example of athletes, available in real-time, and how paired with the increasing adoption of 3D interfaces, this allows for a completely new live sports experience. We cover the state of the art of generating live 3D data, who the key players are (companies like Hawkeye, Beyond Sports, Move.ai etc.), and how it is used in a range of applications already today to provide fans at home a more immersive and interactive experience.

The web-based augmented reality game, launched on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Belvedere Museum, takes children and families on a thrilling adventure through the Baroque palace gardens. The grounds of the Belvedere were once home to a menagerie – one of Europe's earliest zoos - where Prince Eugene gathered animals from around the world. Six of these animals are now the protagonists of the new Fantastic Palastics game: Roco the Lion, Neo the Lemur, Rena the Gazelle, Pop the Sheep, Dada the Ostrich, and Flux the Porcupine. The Fantastic Palastics game brings the history of this World Heritage Site to life with AR technology by Niantic 8th Wall. The game was developed in collaboration with The Brand Father and Orb Amsterdam and powered by Niantic 8th Wall. Wolfgang Bergmann (CFO Belvedere) and Doruk Eker (Orb) will talk about the development and learnings of this innovative project.
Come to the Belvedere Gardens and play the game while you are in Vienna: www.belvedere.at/game
