Throughout the tournament, the experience will be easily accessible via the website and app, including live match pages and the sport, football, and World Cup indexes.
Which views does it have?

How does it work?
This Beta 3D experience is powered by live official Fifa data and technology from XR company Immersiv.io.
The system uses skeletal data to recreate the match in real-time, similar to the semi-automated offside technology.
