Personal Virtual Reality and Live Sports
ACCESSWIRE - Thu Sep 04, 9:21AM CDT

From fitness-sensing shirts to smart watches to virtual reality headsets, companies are finding newer and better ways to satisfy the consumers' desire for personalized, on-demand, real world information and even virtual reality. Google Inc.

Facebook Inc.'s (NASDAQ: FB) recent $2 billion Oculus Rift acquisition gives an indication of the value placed on emerging technologies in the space. In a parallel, related (and likely to converge) world, the NFL is partnering with Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) to outfit players with RFID sensors on their shoulder pads to collect data from games and to be used as part of a "second screen" way to enhance the fans' experience.
