On Spatial Perspectives, host Dan Cui will have a one-on-one dialog with innovators and thought leaders in the growing Spatial Reality, or Spatial Computing, market. Cui will invite guests who can discuss the real world use cases of the technology and how it could benefit mankind while exploring any drawbacks and how they might be mitigated.

Live sporting events are back on the menu in the wake of COVID-19 — but that doesn’t mean they’ll look the same as they did prior to the pandemic.

In addition to safety measure and other touchless innovations present at the world’s stadiums and arenas, technologies like augmented reality could be ready to make a huge impact on the way fans consume live sports.

To learn more, MarketScale invited Spatial Perspectives host Dan Cui to share his insights.

“As we get back to attending live sporting events, augmented reality offers teams, sponsors and fans a unique way of engaging with one another.

Just prior to this COVID shutdown, AT&T Stadium partnered with Nexus studios to provide location-based augmented reality visualizations throughout the stadium, giving fans a virtual way to interact with their favorite players, which enhances the overall game night experience.

But the benefits don’t stop there. All aspects of stadium and team activities can become more exciting. Halftime shows, historical game overlays, player statistics, on field rulings, even food, beverage and swag — purchasing can become part of the adventure of attending a live event infused with augmented reality.

From a marketing perspective, augmented reality clearly enhances team brand loyalty by providing sponsors innovative ways of reaching their target audiences. Keep your eyes open at the next live event you’ll be attending and join in on the fun.”

Why BioWare closed: EA picked Star Wars over Mass Effect, Bloomberg reports

Why BioWare closed: EA picked Star Wars over Mass Effect, Bloomberg reports

Electronic Arts closed BioWare and ended early work on the next Mass Effect on Oct. 21. On Oct. 30, Bloomberg reported a main reason: EA chose a new Star Wars multiplayer opportunity over Mass Effect: Universe. EA still owns the franchise and a TV adaptation remains in development.

  • 01Bloomberg's sources say EA prioritized Star Wars Battlefront 3, which has not started development, over Mass Effect: Universe; both were expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
  • 02EA's $55 billion buyout closed in August, per Kotaku, and left about $18 billion of debt, per Video Games Chronicle; about 400 jobs were cut companywide, about 50 of them at BioWare.
  • 03EA keeps the Mass Effect franchise; a TV adaptation at Amazon continues and a fan petition had nearly 300,000 signatures as of Oct. 30.

  • 01The Gateway PGA Section serves more than 400 professionals at more than 200 facilities, one of 41 PGA of America sections, and Schwent places it among the smallest.

EA and NFL bring real stadium sponsor signs into Madden NFL

EA and NFL bring real stadium sponsor signs into Madden NFL

Electronic Arts and the NFL opened Madden NFL's virtual stadiums to real sponsor signage. EA pitches it as a way for brands to extend their existing sponsorships. That turns the in-game sign into an add-on to physical stadium contracts, in a game played more than 2 billion times a year.

  • 01The ticket into Madden's virtual stadiums is a real NFL sponsorship contract: only confirmed club and league sponsors are eligible, subject to some exclusions.
  • 02More than 2 billion games a year counts how often Madden is played. It doesn't measure how long a sign is on screen, so sponsors need an exposure method before they can put a value on the placement.
  • 03The next club announcement and any league-level partner will test whether Madden signage becomes a standard line in NFL sponsorship proposals.
