Every major sports network is working to deliver VR for sporting events.

- Ensorceled 11y agoProbably more like a premium service like MLB Premium.
- prawn 11y agoEscapism will be a new/enhanced gaming category with VR, IMO.
- TheCondor 11y agoSports and concerts seem like pretty compelling VR apps. If the music people handle their business right, I could see VR front row tickets at home being a premium to mid grade tickets. Same for sports, a couple rime vantage points that the user can toggle between? I could see people paying more than a live ticket
- tim333 11y agoI tried William Hill's VR horse racing app. It uses computer game style horses linked to live position detectors on the real ones. It was quite good. Wouldn't use it myself but I could see it working. They hope to make money from the betting in the usual manner. http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/future-tech/virtual-reality-comes-to-horse-racing-11364008360119 http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/future-tech/virtual-reality-...
- Ensorceled 11y agoYeah, I can imagine how much (and how many) court-side VR tickets to Kobe's last game at the Staples Center would go for. Or strap a VR rig to the head of one of the towel boys and sit on the end of the bench as the 16th man. I think this is actually a bigger $$$ market than VR games because of the repeatable sales.
