**After an incredible reaction from the sporting world during Eurosport's coverage of the US Open, the brilliant *Eurosport Cube* returns for [Roland-Garros](https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/french-open/).**

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
