In March 2022 I was invited by bild studios to be part of the team to deliver AR graphics for the closing ceremony of the Dubai Expo 2022. I was lead d3 programmer working with an incredibly talented team collectively working together to bring to life the Augmented Reality graphics for the broadcast of the Dubai Expo closing ceremony. One particular challenge was getting accurate positional data from the wire cam which was suspended on a 130m catenary in which we took multiple 3d laser measurement’s of the camera in various potions on the wire to generate a 3d spline which gave us the cable deflection and XYZ at each 5m position along the wire. This was then fed into Stage Precision to conform the true tracking data which was then streamed to the media server to display the Notch Ar graphics for broadcast and and some select viewing screens for the royal family,
