The AR effect uses image recognition of the printed murals that were over 20 feet wide and 10 feet tall. Below are images of the team testing it out on location the night before the opening game.

Fans can activate an awesome animated mural at the North end of Toyota Stadium. By activating the mural with your phone, you unlock an explosive animation where FC Dallas players – Paxton Pomykal, Jesus Ferreira, and Paul Arriola burst out of the mural with an electrical effect and a roaring sound effect.

“Get In The Game”
We also created a fan experience that allowed fans to activate an AR “Pose with the Players” moment. This involved creating an AR experience that would unlock AR digital doubles of the where FC Dallas players – Paxton Pomykal, Jesus Ferreira, and Paul Arriola.
After the fan launches the experience, the three FC Dallas players fly in from the sky to a designated fan spot, where they land – superhero-style, and pose for a picture before running off.
This AR Avatar-style experience is portable and uses SLAM technology to bring it to life. The experience can be activated off one of the murals on-site at Toyota Stadium and from one of the FC Dallas-wrapped Toyota trucks used for off-site mobile tours and fan events.
Behind The Scenes: Making the Experience
Since the experience included actual FC Dallas players, we went onsite to Toyota Stadium to capture the players on the pitch where they play. Instead of motion capturing the players on a stage, we shot reference videos for our animation team to recreate. Once we captured what we needed on site, the players joined us at our studio in downtown Dallas, where our volumetric capture camera system is set up for update and R&D.
