Al Arabiya ‘grows’ AR rainforest in its studio

Al Arabiya brought the outside in during an augmented reality explainer about the fires in the Amazon rainforest.

The segment involved using the in-studio video wall as a “base” for a 3D augmented reality rainforest vegetation and floor that extended out from the wall and into the studio, with the presenter standing behind it as a map and key facts appeared “in” the forest.

The segment also used a more traditional view of a burning forest on the video wall surface with additional facts inserted.
