Sports Techie, The news that Univision Deportes will implement an immersive augmented reality graphics solution created by deltatre is outstanding for our Hispanic and Latino community members who have access to this digital content via their cable TV provider or over the Internet via their wireless carriers. Our cable provider is Comcast and they carry Univision Deportes. If your providers do not carry Univision, I suggest you send them a note or email explaining how you want Univision Deportes World Cup content that now includes augmented reality eye candy.

Of course, like many sports tech broadcast solutions, the new augmented reality component of the Univision Deportes studio broadcast will undoubtedly be sponsored and ultimately brought to you by Corona, KFC or Microsoft.

The Touchscreen is a popular studio broadcasting tool we are used to seeing during events such as the NFL draft or NFL combine. Pregame, halftime and postgame World Cup soccer coverage from Brazil will benefit from the Touchscreen efficiency and data driven content.

Bravo to Univision Deportes for staying ahead of the curve. Giving your viewers and partners more of the kinds of compelling futbol sports tech that adds layers of data and analysis, as well as sponsorship opportunities, enhances the fan experience for all, in any language.
