wTVision developed Augmented Reality graphics, graphics for the Ledwall, and a Ticker for RTP’s coverage of the 2024 legislative elections in Portugal. The Augmented Reality graphics and a fresh graphic concept, maximized the utilization of the set, enhancing the viewer experience.

The highlight of the electoral night was the immense panoramic screen, broadcasting comprehensive information on results, predictions, regional breakdowns, and historical data. On-screen graphics, including a ticker, provided real-time updates to viewers.

Developing this solution involved leveraging wTVision's proprietary technology and skilled operators, orchestrating all graphics through Elections CG in tandem with R³ Space Engine.

The panoramic screen proved instrumental in optimizing set space, facilitating a dynamic and uninterrupted live broadcast that fully utilized available resources. This aspect was particularly crucial during the intense hours of election coverage, benefiting journalists, directors, and viewers alike.

Additionally, wTVision implemented an AR solution for RTP, showcasing key results, official data, leaderboard changes, and historical trends. This integration seamlessly combined the Elections CG with Unreal Engine, resulting in photorealistic virtual graphics with impeccable detail and dynamism.

In addition, our team also developed a web interface for tablet where the presenter can launch graphics for the ledwall and at the same time get a preview of the those same graphics. All controlled from a tablet device.

With this project, wTVision got to demonstrate all of its technological advancements, particularly within augmented reality graphics developed with the Unreal Engine. It was also an opportunity to put into practice all of our workflow specially developed for Election coverage.
