CBS Stations Rolls Out AR/VR Election Centers Across All 15 Stations
What happened
CBS Television Stations is debuting augmented reality and virtual reality Election Centers across all 15 of its owned-and-operated television stations on November 3. These centers use immersive visual storytelling and dynamic data visualizations to present real-time election results and explain races to viewers. The rollout concludes a three-year effort to transform a local innovation into a nationwide storytelling platform for news, weather, and sports.

Why it matters
The deployment of proprietary AR/VR technology across the entire station group establishes a new standard for news presentation. This move is believed to make CBS Stations the only U.S. television station group with AR/VR news studios operating across its entire operation, potentially shifting competitive dynamics in the media landscape.
