The logo on the jersey is only the kick-off.

Tailored VR, AR and AI ideas for Hungarian sponsors — turning the support of a team, federation or athlete into an experience: on match day, in bank branches, stores, fuel stations and at internal events.

Sponsorship can do more than visibility

01

Significant budgets flow into sport

Hungarian companies support teams, federations, athletes and events — as naming sponsors, main sponsors and partners.

02

Most rights stay unused

Sponsorship agreements typically cover name, visual identity and athlete appearances — yet often only the logo placement gets used.

03

Attention lives on the phone

Fans look at their phones in the stands, in stores and at home. The experience has to be where their attention is.

Experiences built on your existing sponsorship

We don't sell a new sponsorship — we make the existing one tangible, in the brand's colours, with the sport's own moves.

VRVirtual reality

Fans step into goal, head the ball, fence or paddle — living the sport's most intense moments with the brand.

ARAugmented reality

Through the phone camera: a giant trophy above the stands, an athlete jumping out of the pack, collectible champions in branches.

AIArtificial intelligence

A talking AI commentator, a tactics AI coach, an AI jersey designer — conversation and creation instead of advertising.

TOUCHTouch & web experiences

Touchscreen quiz duels and a digital sports museum — with leaderboards, sign-ups and measurable results.

Ideas from the pitch

A few examples from the idea library. Each company deck selects from them for its own sponsorship — and adds new, sport-specific ideas.

Seven-Metre Duel

Step into goal and stop the shots: five shots, three difficulty levels and a leaderboard in the match-day fan zone.

Header Hero

VR cannot track feet precisely — but it tracks headers well. Corner-kick crosses, stadium atmosphere, score on the big screen.

Trophy Above the Stands

At half-time the whole stand sees the same thing on their phones: a giant 3D trophy above the pitch, a countdown, a shared photo.

Talk to the Commentator

A voice-driven 3D AI commentator: ask about the team, take a quiz and hear your own goal called live.

Jump Off the Shelf

A QR code on the pack: a player of the sponsored team jumps off the shelf in a 20-second AR game. Measurable scans, plays and sign-ups.

Tactics Board with an AI Coach

AI Jersey Studio

One sentence and the fan jersey is ready — built from the approved identity of the club and the sponsor. The community votes; the winner can become a limited edition.

How it works

  1. We map the sponsorship

    Team, federation, athlete, event — from public sources, verified.

  2. Sport-specific ideas

    VR, AR and AI activations built on the sport's moves, rules and atmosphere.

  3. A personal deck in brand colours

    6–7 ideas in a web presentation, tailored to the company's own venues and goals.

  4. 30 minutes of ideation, then a pilot

    Together we pick the most promising direction and plan a measurable first step.

For agencies

Creative, event or media agencies can work with us too: ARworks complements the agency’s ideas as a technology and production partner — white-label if needed.

FAQ

Can we use the athletes' names, faces and voices?

The sponsorship agreement defines the scope of rights. We design ideas to stay within it; an athlete's face or voice is only used with their and the club's consent.

How long does it take?

A WebAR activation, quiz or AI character can be done in a few weeks; a custom VR experience typically takes 2–4 months. Our adaptable platforms (e.g. TouchAI) are faster.

Do we need our own hardware?

For AR, the fan's own phone is enough, with no install. VR needs a standalone headset (e.g. Meta Quest 3); for events we can provide it with an operator.

Can agencies work with you?

Yes — ARworks complements agencies as a technology and creative development partner, white-label if needed.

Where does the sponsorship data come from?

From public sources: club and federation partner pages, press releases and trade media — each data point with its source. If you spot an error, please let us know.

What does the first step cost?

The first 30-minute ideation is an informal conversation. After that we propose a short concept or mini demo for the chosen direction, in a scope agreed together.
