Broadcast graphics are an essential asset to make the fan experience greater than ever before. An Dang Duy, Chief Information Officer at World Athletics, and Mike Wuetherick, Engineering Manager at Unity Technologies – which provides the graphics engine that powers Deltatre's set of graphics solutions – sit down with Juliette Bietry to discuss the latest on enhanced fan experiences.
