A look into the future when NFL games would be broadcast in virtual reality accompanied with lots of challenges. There’s a large field of play to cover, plenty of data to process, and even as higher-resolution devices can make the live experience watchable, there’s the question of if such an experience would be dramatic for an average NFL fan.
But the NFL live in VR is getting closer to happening. Next VR virtual augmented reality nba games coffee table and Intel True VR after helping the NFL's live tests as early as last season was showcased at the Consumers Electronics Show earlier this year as a solution for the league, which could be the start of things to come. The presentation during the keynote from Intel CEO Brian Krzanich included the example of a user wearing a headset to go watch a Kansas City Chiefs - Los Angeles Chargers game. Due to multiple data streams the user could look in the left to see how is fanatsy team was doing. A green circle around the fantasy player meant that meant that he was on the field while a flashing icon signified a bump in points.
According to Krzanich Intel and NFL have been have been exploring ways to provide fans with more immersive way of enjoying the sport. And as the technology advance, they tend to explore more opportunities create immersive experience.
As part of Intel True View, the company has unveiled Be the player at last year's Super Bowl enabling people to get a virtual view of what quarterbacks Tom Brady and Matt Ryan could see from their eyes. That was achieved without use of helmet cams. Rather, pixels with volumes called voxels are stitched together thanks to camera arou nd the stadium.
Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo now a CBS analyst joined Krzanich on a stage to how this technology was helping fans.
"Nothing else can do that without placing a camera on a players head, and that's why I think that you are going fell like back you're back playing football again nfor some people who would have made it to the NFL but you had that knee injury."
Said Deng in one of the immrsive technology videos that Intel provide:"There’s a great opportunity to use technology to show different perspectives, to show what a player is thinking or maybe seeing when they execute a play. And I think those things are really unique and bring something richer to the experience."
