Who kicked the ball? Situated Visualization in On-Site Sports Spectating

With the recent technological advancements in sports broadcasting, viewers that follow a sports game through broadcast media or online are presented with an enriched experience that includes additional content such as statistics and graphics that help to follow a game. In contrast, spectators at live sporting events often miss out on this additional content.In this paper, we explore the opportunities of using situated visualization to enrich on-site sports spectating. We developed two novel situated visualization approaches for on-site sports spectating: (1) situated broadcast-styled visualization which mimics television broadcasts and (2) situated infographics which places visual elements into the environment.
