Al Jazeera uses Viz Libero for sports analysis during Qatar 2022 World Cup

Al Jazeera Media Network, headquartered in Doha, Qatar, is enriching its sports coverage of the international event through Vizrt’s Viz Libero’s real-time 3D graphics technology, creating an added compelling dimension for content for Al Jazeera’s viewers.

Viz Libero uses existing TV images to combine video with real-time data visualizations easily, 3D camera flight effects そして virtual enhancements, powerful telestration, and photorealistic augmented reality elements — this eliminates the need for complex equipment at the venue to capture the action.

We know Al Jazeera sets the bar high in delivering the best content to its viewers and we are excited to be involved in its production plans around the World Cup as a trusted tech partner,” says Armin Kaltenhauser, General Manager of Vizrt Sales.

“The FIFA World Cup is one of the most watched sporting events in the entire globe, and this year, with the large following that Al Jazeera has, and with the demand for World Cup related news, we have decided to adopt the best technology to capture the news and updates revolving around the event”, comments Ahmed Marzouq AlFahad, Executive Director of Technology & Network Operations Division at Al Jazeera Media Network

“We have integrated Viz Libero’s augmented reality and virtual presenter features into our system. All eyes are on Doha, therefore, we aim to ensure those eyes are as informed and entertained as possible. Al Jazeera’s focus is to use technology that captures with accuracy, speed, and quality and Viz Libero’s technology made it possible.”

Technological advancement to the brand identity, Ramzan Alnoimi, Acting Executive Director of Global Brand & Communications Division at Al Jazeera said, “It is always important to use the best technologies by international companies to continue enhancing creative designs for the brand identity of Al Jazeera Media Network.”
