Innovative Technologies That Are Revolutionizing Spectator Sports
ACCESSWIRE - Tue Oct 28, 8:52AM CDT
Whitefish, MT / ACCESSWIRE / October 28, 2014 / IBM (NYSE: IBM) foresees the end of spectator sports as we know it. No, the company does not envision that people will actually lose interest in consuming sports for entertainment. Rather, the company sees a day where the explosion of virtual and augmented reality technology gives fans a "visceral, on-the-court feel for the game." In partnership with Tennis Australia, IBM demonstrated a taste of things to come at this year's Australian Open. The company set up a virtual arena and gave people the chance to try to return serves with the help of advanced real-time data and Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) Oculus Rift headsets. Fans tried to virtually return serves that had happened just moments before on the courts, then were given data that might help them be more successful on the second try. Over 10,000 fans gave this simulation a whirl on site, with over 52,000 fans trying it out remotely via a desktop version.
