NextVR, Notre Dame Football Providing VR Experiences During Stanford Rivalry Game

Notre Dame and Stanford will square off Saturday in their annual college football matchup. Yet this year, the rivalry game will include a new wrinkle for the Fighting Irish faithful as fans will be able to experience highlights in virtual reality.

NextVR, a virtual reality broadcasting company which produced the first NBA games with the new technology, is teaming up with Notre Dame around the primetime game on NBC.

“We are pleased to be working with NextVR, in conjunction with our long time media partner NBC Sports, to pilot new fan experiences that bring them closer to the action,” Dan Skendzel, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Media and Branding, said in a statement.
