AR Takes the Main Stage
summary
Unreal Engine powers live broadcast AR used at Coachella (about 500,000 AR opens and 20× engagement vs 2019), festival tie‑ins in Fortnite, and Riot’s Valorant finals (peaking ~1.4M viewers). Broadcast stacks use Pixotope/Disguise and real‑time compositing; Niantic Lightship and social apps handle mobile. Stadium work (Panther at Super Bowl, Chipotle ice‑bowl) requires laser‑scanned geometry to avoid occlusion and sponsor conflicts — panther and burrito stunts succeed but force on‑the‑fly ice and dashboard replacements. Prototype quadruped control rig records gameplay motion for live playback.
