THE CUBE RETURNS FOR ROLAND-GARROS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

After an incredible reaction from the sporting world during Eurosport's coverage of the US Open, the brilliant Eurosport Cube returns for Roland-Garros. 

Ahead of the tournament which starts on Sunday, here is a reminder of everything that you need to know about the Eurosport Cube.

What makes the Eurosport Cube unique?
• The Eurosport Cube brings together a variety of the latest technology for the first time, creating an interactive mixed-reality studio using augmented reality (AR) and enhanced graphics.

• With spectators outside the stadiums and experts required to be back home, the Cube uses this technology to transport fans into the heart of the action from New York.

• The Eurosport Cube will create a virtual world that remotely connects the players in New York with guests, hosts and experts from ANYWHERE in the world.

• The technology allows true interaction, while the players will appear physically in the Cube with a direct eye-line between guest and host.

Eurosport’s Cube: Fast Facts
• Eurosport’s Cube is the result of three years of research and development by Eurosport, White Light Ltd and Dimensions

• It is 4m x 4m and is made up over four million LED pixels

• Eurosport’s Cube can be constructed in a day, aided by an innovative auto-calibration system which speeds up the lens and camera tracking setup

• It includes a sophisticated tracking solution which allows the lighting to automatically follow the presenters in the space, which enables presenters to interact with AR graphics or props

• It utilises an innovative “virtual set extension” to extend the content outside the footprint of the physical LED video environment, placing the presenter and camera in a fully immersive 360° digital environment

Eurosport's coverage of Roland-Garros starts pn Sunday LIVE on Eurosport and Eurosport app.
