FootAR for sport is a live 3D match view, drawn from match data, that clubs, leagues and rights holders embed in their own site or app and offer in headsets.

The problem

Fans follow the match on a second screen, and most of what clubs and leagues offer there is a score and a list of events. Rights holders need a matchday experience they own, on their own site and app, with room for sponsors inside it.

At the venue and in the app.

Two recordings: FootAR with Liga Portugal at the Allianz Cup Final Four, and the 3D stadium inside the SC Braga app.

Questions we hear

Is it video of the match?

No. FootAR draws the match in 3D from live match data: what happened and where on the pitch. It is not broadcast video or a camera reconstruction of the players.

Which platforms does it run on?

In the browser on any phone or computer, with no app for fans to install, and as apps for Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest.

How does it fit into our site or app?

As an embeddable 3D match view on your own pages and in your app. The integration questions for your platform are answered in a private demo.

What data does it need?

Live match data: what happened and where on the pitch. Data sources are covered in a private demo.

Can sponsors appear inside it?

Yes. Sponsor placements, QR activations and matchday games can live inside the 3D experience.

Who has used it?

SC Braga, CD Nacional, Jornal de Notícias, Record and DN Madeira, each documented on its case page with public sources.
