High-end innovations using Artificial Intelligence to be introduced during T20 World Cup broadcast

The
new
tech
has
been
developed
under
Star
and
Disney
India’s
R&D
arm
—
Star
that
spearheads
innovation
in
emerging
technologies.
The
broadcaster
is
deploying
new
tools
for
analytics,
camera
technology,
immersive
AR
graphics,
virtual
and
automated
sets,
and
a
plethora
of
new
cricket
broadcast
experiences.

Notably,
Artificial
Intelligence
(AI)
is
powering
a
range
of
integrations,
from
a
robotic
statistic
genius
‘Cricko’,
to
automated
cameras,
optical
tracking
of
fielding
positions
and
even
super
slow-motion
replays.

Venues
on-ground
will
witness
high-tech
integrations
with
ultra-modern
cameras,
creating
360-degree
highlights
using
multiple
patented
technologies.
These
facilitate
the
ability
to
showcase
detailed
analysis
of
player
movements
during
the
game.

Player
graphics
will
be
refreshed
and
will
consist
of
unique
symbols
inspired
by
gaming
that
highlight
a
specific
trait
or
quality
of
that
cricketer.
Technological
integrations
introduced
in
the
studio
include
the
use
of
AI
to
aid
in-depth
analysis
revolving
around
statistics
in
order
to
help
the
audience
better
understand
the
nuances
of
the
game.

A
digital
model
of
the
stadium
will
be
embedded
to
showcase
fielding
placements,
wagon
wheels,
scoring
area
percentages
and
countless
statistics
as
well
as
technology
that
produces
the
illusion
that
presenters
are
teleporting
between
the
ground
and
the
studio.
