A media application designed to augment and enhance the sports viewing experience of a Champions League football (soccer) game inside an “Intelligent Living Room”.
Sportscaster is a media application designed to augment and enhance the sports viewing experience of a Champions League football (soccer) game. The primary screen, where the game is shown, is the TV that can display up to four matches in parallel. Mimicking the stadium videoboards, the wall surrounding the TV (SurroundWall) features UIs that present live information that varies depending on the context. In more details, before the beginning of the match, viewers can see the lineups, past matches form and Head-to-head statistics, while during the match the default displayed information includes live game details (e.g., score, time), player statistics (e.g., goals scored, cards), and social media feed. On key moments, such as penalties or free-kicks, SurroundWall is used to display complementary videos (e.g., a replay) or ask for user input (e.g., a poll regarding the VAR decision).
