Augmented reality is a game changer for sports. The 2016 UEFA EURO tournament surprised football fans with its official Magic Pic app, powered by Wikitude’s AR SDK. Magic Pic allows guests on the hospitalities areas to choose between 20 different backgrounds of all french stadiums to take personalized pictures and share on Facebook, Twitter and other social media channels. As a special feature, users can also make selfies with 5 different 3D models: Super Victor, this tournament’s mascot, national flags of teams, an augmented UEFA banner and even the event’s trophy. Several Magic Walls (green screens) were placed in Hospitality Areas spread across all stadiums in France, allowing fans to create great memories during the games. The app developed by Wikitude’s Premium Partner, Takondi, quickly became a success! The response of fans and hospitality guests from all over the world was tremendous, proving the potential of AR in mega sport events.
