"It's 3D, it's also augmented reality".
Evelyne Dhéliat, who became a big fan of WhatsApp video calls during the first confinement, relies a lot on these technologies.
"Be careful that it does not become a spectacle"
"With us at TF1, Yani is someone who works a lot on this, she is a young person who is fabulous", specifies the weather presenter about Yani Khezzar.
This journalist, responsible for innovation for information at TF1, presents since the beginning of March in the 8 pm newscast the sequence "Augmented Earth", which uses augmented reality.

But Evelyne Dhéliat also warns of the risks of overuse of these technologies.
"It is true that we must be careful that the weather does not become spectacle," she warns.
"The weather should remain information, but augmented reality can be an added value."
And the weather presenter, who regularly raises awareness of global warming in her bulletins, is very attached to this notion of information.
She first wanted to be a TV presenter, at a time when this job had very few women.
"It started with Christine Ockrent and Anne Sinclair, but before, it was really very, very masculine," she recalls.
