During the restart of the Spanish top leagues on Thursday, virtual fans and spectator sounds from the tape will be faded in on request.
Virtual fans and cheering from the tape: When the Spanish La Liga starts its operation on Thursday after the Corona compulsory break, the stadium atmosphere will be almost the same as always, at least for TV viewers.
As the league announced before the restart, true-to-scale pictures of fans and spectator sounds will be inserted during the matches of the two top leagues on request.
The virtual fans are to wear the jerseys of the home team in the option and will be inserted by a Norwegian company (Vizrt). When the ball rests, messages can be inserted, for example. The viewer sounds are provided by the American video game developer EA Sports.
“We have made these changes in the broadcast so that fans can enjoy La Liga,” League President Javier Tebas is quoted on the homepage.
“We are in an exceptional situation, but it was important for us to adapt and provide our fans with a relaxed and innovative broadcast.”
