By pointing your Smartphone skyward at the stadium, a message on an oversized team uniform will appear to be floating in the sky.

Broadcast of the match will, as always, also be available via datacasting. In addition to player information and formations, team statistics will be newly displayed. Data can be selected and displayed to further enjoy the match. You could win a gift during the half-time quiz or cast your vote in polls related to the players. Not only will you enjoy watching the match, you will have the opportunity to actually participate in the project.
Enhance Your Variety Program-Viewing with New Datacasting Projects
