Using Epson’s Moverio smart glasses, viewer’s experience moved to a different dimension. Contents are overlaid on the lenses of the glasses showing team related content such as the anatomy of the racecar and race day roles of engineering staff. It also shows a pit stop demonstrated in slow motion.
Contextual content from videos to social media feeds can also be screened to display directly in front of viewers.
