NEW YORK — Asked if it took a lot of negotiating with the NFL to get NextVR cameras on goalposts, NextVR CEO and co-founder David Cole tilted his head back and smiled.

“It takes trust, and it takes work,” Cole said Tuesday.

NextVR has built up quite a relationship with the NFL as they will produce the third and final virtual reality post-game experience of the season when the New York Giants play at the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The “post-game experience” label makes it clear that no, these are not live VR games. But that could ultimately change.
