Vislink Named Finalist for IBC 2024 Innovation Awards for Collaboration with FocalPoint VR and ASPIRE

Vislink and FocalPoint Developed a Virtual Reality over RF Wireless Solution for ASPIRE’s Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL)

Mt. Olive, New Jersey — July 29th, 2024 — Vislink is pleased to announce its selection as a finalist for the IBC 2024 Innovation Awards, having been chosen for its collaboration with its technology partner FocalPoint VR and ASPIRE. Vislink and FocalPoint VR co-developed a cutting-edge virtual reality over RF wireless solution for use during the inaugural season of the A2RL (Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League) series which commenced last April.

Vislink’s RF wireless technology provided low-latency video and data communication between the A2RL race cars and their control systems. This project marks a first in motorsport entertainment, allowing racing fans to experience real-time VR views from the cockpit of autonomous race cars directly to their headsets, both onsite and at home.

The significance of this joint solution lies in its use of proven communication and virtual reality technology platforms to enhance an emerging motorsport — autonomous racing. This innovative approach has the potential to deliver an unprecedented fan experience and create new opportunities for engagement.

“This year’s entries once again showcased the global reach and appeal of the IBC Innovation Awards with projects of the highest quality received from six continents,” said Fergal Ringrose, Chair of the 2024 IBC Innovation Awards Jury.

The IBC 2024 Innovation Awards spotlight dynamic media technology initiatives from around the world. They honor collaborative projects that lead to groundbreaking solutions addressing real-world Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry challenges, and they celebrate social purpose and environmental sustainability initiatives.
