Virtual to reality: Step on the field with Bryce Harper
(Photo: VML: Art Director, Austin DeJonge)There’s simply no duplicating what Bryce Harper’s done in the major leagues this season – 39 home runs, a .338 batting average and a 1.134 on base plus slugging that puts him on a level not reached since Barry Bonds’ heyday.
In fact, a gaming production company probably came closer than any major leaguer to duplicating Harper. All it took was 14 GoPros, an empty Nationals Park and hours upon hours of production.
The result is what Gatorade is billing as the first virtual reality experience that incorporates live action and computer-generated imagery for a 360-degree experience of a major league at-bat.
