SailGP integrates a broadcast graphics software for a mixed reality application

SailGP is set to revolutionize the way fans experience sailing events with the introduction of SailGP RaceScape XR, a groundbreaking mixed-reality app designed for the Apple Vision Pro. The new app will make its debut ahead of the Germany Sail Grand Prix, scheduled for August 16-17 [6][7].

Key Features of SailGP RaceScape XR

  • Immersive Viewing Experience: SailGP RaceScape XR offers an unprecedented level of engagement for fans, allowing them to immerse themselves in the heart of the racing action. The app provides access to real-time and historical race metrics, enabling fans to replay all event action in full detail [1].
  • Multi-Modal Content Delivery: The app features a customizable interface that includes live race viewing, near real-time highlights, and replays from onboard camera feeds. Users can easily scrub through timelines, jump to bookmarked events, and synchronize playback with recorded videos [1][3].
  • AR and VR Integration: SailGP RaceScape XR includes AR and VR elements, such as the Tabletop Mode (VR), which allows users to interact with a virtual racecourse. This mode features LiveLine overlays, speed/timing data, and user-controlled camera perspectives, enabling fans to zoom, pan, or fly around the course [1][2].
  • Detailed Data and Visualizations: The app utilizes SailGP's patented in-house broadcast graphics package, LiveLine, to provide real-time boat positioning and tactical data. Fans can view augmented reality visualizations that map the exact positions of racing boats and follow their favourite teams with a dynamic 3D virtual mini-map [3][4].

Enhancing the Viewing Experience for the Germany Sail Grand Prix

During the Germany Sail Grand Prix, SailGP RaceScape XR will significantly enhance the viewing experience by offering:

  • Immersive Interaction: Fans can immerse themselves in the racing action through interactive features like selecting camera views from individual boats and following specific teams in real-time [5].
  • Multi-Screen Viewing: Users can access a world feed, UmpApp, and onboard team videos, providing a multi-dimensional perspective on the race [2].
  • Data-Driven Insights: The app offers detailed race metrics and historical data, allowing viewers to gain deeper insights into the race dynamics and strategies employed by the teams [4].

In the words of Matt Lord, director of technology and digital systems at SailGP, "SailGP is continually pushing the boundaries on its digital fan experience, and SailGP RaceScape XR is a testament to that commitment. We're developing cutting-edge technology to bring Grand Prix events to life for fans in ways they've never experienced before." [8]

With the launch of SailGP RaceScape XR, fans of the Sail Grand Prix can look forward to a more engaging, interactive, and data-rich viewing experience that complements traditional broadcasts.
