Japanese technology company Pixela Corporation has a live virtual reality app with a MagicVision feature that enables viewers to see three different angles simultaneously, and this was made available to viewers of a recent Nippon Professional preseason game.
Pacific League TV subscribers could watch the game between the Chiba Lotte Marines and Yomiuri Giants on March 18 for free in live 360-degree virtual reality using Pixela’s Panomiru app and headsets from either Google Cardboard or Hacosco.
The patent-pending MagicVision feature enabled viewers to choose from multiple screens within in a virtual baseball stadium, including angles from each dugout looking at the action with pitchers facing hitters and also an angle from the catcher’s perspective.
