Could virtual reality be the key to training NFL quarterbacks in the future? According to Re/Code, the Dallas Cowboys are the first team to dive in and experiment with technology that will allow quarterbacks to re-live plays from their own perspective.
The Cowboys have inked a two-year deal with StriVR Labs, a virtual reality sports startup, to train all of its quarterbacks using a VR headset, according to a source familiar with the deal. After donning the headset, players see a live-action 3-D video replay of a football play from the quarterback’s perspective, and can review that play from a first-person view over and over, looking in any direction.
