Traditionally, sports commentary has played a crucial role in enhancing viewer understanding and engagement with live games.

This paper elaborates upon an innovative automated commentary system that integrates NLP and CV to provide a multimodal experience, combining auditory feedback through text-to-speech and visual cues, known as italicizing, for real-time in-game commentary. The system supports color commentary, which aims to inform the viewer of information surrounding the game by pulling additional content from a database. Moreover, it also supports play-by-play commentary covering in-game developments derived from an event system based on CV. As the system reinvents the role of commentary in sports video, we must consider the design and implications of multimodal artificial commentators. A focused user study with eight participants aimed at understanding the design implications of such multimodal artificial commentators reveals critical insights. Key findings emphasize the importance of language precision, content relevance, and delivery style in automated commentary, underscoring the necessity for personalization to meet diverse viewer preferences. Our results validate the potential value and effectiveness of multimodal feedback and derive design considerations, particularly in personalizing content to revolutionize the role of commentary in sports broadcasts.},

abstract = {Traditionally, sports commentators provide viewers with diverse information, encompassing in-game developments and player performances. Yet young adult football viewers increasingly use mobile devices for deeper insights during football matches. Such insights into players on the pitch and performance statistics support viewers’ understanding of game stakes, creating a more engaging viewing experience. Inspired by commentators’ traditional roles and to incorporate information into a single platform, we developed AiCommentator, a Multimodal Conversational Agent (MCA) for embedded visualization and conversational interactions in football broadcast video. AiCommentator integrates embedded visualization, either with an automated non-interactive or with a responsive interactive commentary mode. Our system builds upon multimodal techniques, integrating computer vision and large language models, to demonstrate ways for designing tailored, interactive sports-viewing content. AiCommentator’s event system infers game states based on a multi-object tracking algorithm and computer vision backend, facilitating automated responsive commentary. We address three key topics: evaluating young adults’ satisfaction and immersion across the two viewing modes, enhancing viewer understanding of in-game events and players on the pitch, and devising methods to present this information in a usable manner. In a mixed-method evaluation (n=16) of AiCommentator, we found that the participants appreciated aspects of both system modes but preferred the interactive mode, expressing a higher degree of engagement and satisfaction. Our paper reports on our development of AiCommentator and presents the results from our user study, demonstrating the promise of interactive MCA for a more engaging sports viewing experience. Systems like AiCommentator could be pivotal in transforming the interactivity and accessibility of sports content, revolutionizing how sports viewers engage with video content.},
