Civolution, a provider of technology and solutions for identifying, managing and monetizing content, has announced that its Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology has been integrated with the Vienna State Opera’s multilingual 2nd screen app for live performances. The app enables OTT opera viewers to make the most of the experience with a multilingual 2nd screen app that is synchronised with the opera performance.
