Mathieu Ducrot, Head of Apps & Connected Ecosystems Anticipation for Orange pitches the new Augmented Reality (AR) device: “At the Orange stand, a table with a printed tennis court is set up. Using tablets, visitors will be able to view the game, with the hologram of the two players, in real time and in miniature on the table. They’ll be free to move around this mini-court and choose their viewpoint all the while bringing up the live match stats for the game in play, should they wish to do so. This world first in AR-style broadcasting enables spectators to experience the sporting event as if they were watching from the stands when in actual fact they could be absolutely anywhere. In the not-too-distant future, it’ll be possible to see major sporting events remotely and in life-size scale in stadiums, on pitches, in arenas, etc. Eventually you won’t even need a terminal: with augmented reality glasses, users won’t need to carry a tablet around with them anymore and the experience will be just as immersive for spectators and players alike.”

Beyond virtual and augmented reality technologies and their upgrades, this small revolution in the world of sport hints at what the immersive communication services of tomorrow will be and showcases the performance of the Orange fibre network in terms of latency. This type of app requires virtually zero latency or very low levels of it, and with the advent of 5G, the experience will be even more successful and capable of being enjoyed while on the move.

Over the last several years we have seen augmented reality (AR) technology transform many industries.

Sports, however, seemed to have shown little progress in that aspect. We use this technology through our Augmented Reality Tennis app in order to help users visualize targets by showing interactive holograms over the live environment. These virtual targets can be used for training patterns, hitting spots on the court etc. This type of learning could help players and coaches in number of ways.
