MANKATO, Minn. — The Vikings are going virtual in 2015.
The Vikings are the fourth NFL team reported to have a partnership with STRIVR Labs, Inc., a provider of virtual reality instructional technology. The list also includes the Cowboys, Patriots and 49ers, who will host the Vikings in the 2015 season opener on Sept. 14.
“We are constantly looking for opportunities to help our players prepare and improve on the field,” Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said. “This is just another example of the Wilf family’s commitment to helping our team compete for championships.”
The technology developed by STRIVR in Palo Alto, California, incorporates the use of video footage from reps at practices.
