The graphics showed through augmented reality were created using one ORAD platform for this effect.Aragón TV chose a virtual set for its electoral night, full-screen graphics and tickers. For this, wTVision integrated technology from Brainstorm to display the virtual scenery, VIZRT for the full-screen graphics and INCAto play the ticker. wTVision also provided graphics design services.

César González, Information and Sports Director at laSexta, also stated: “I don’t know how wTVision accomplishes this, but our data appeared faster than the official results displayed in the electoral commission’s website! We’re very happy with the results!”
