Virtual Reality and the Future of Sports

Early next year the Oculus Rift will launch as a piece of technology that could drastically change how we interact with the world and with one another. I don’t believe that statement is hyperbole either. Let’s just confine the technology’s application to the land of sports. For fans who can’t afford tickets or travel time to see Kentucky’s matchup with Duke? Just put on the Oculus and you’ll be transported to a courtside seat to witness the action. For players on the practice field or watching game tape, they can relive the exact moments just before they threw a pick 6 or missed a wide open gap.
