NHL Highlights: Now Available in VR

Sports fans will love this new virtual reality development. The NHL – the National Hockey League – is now offering some virtual reality features filmed at their games. It can not only put you right in the action but also make you feel like you are at the game, in the stands rooting for your team. So far this feature is a bit experimental and there isn’t much content yet but they have promised more for the 2019 hockey season. An NHL All-Star Game in January was the site for the first shoot. The highlights from the game were released in virtual reality on the Next VR app.

The game featured the top talent from the league, making it extra exciting for die-hard fans who love to see their favorite players on the ice. The league has said they will post more highlights from select special events throughout the year. Next VR seeks to be a leader in the sports space and this development can help to get them there. The company has been through some bumps in the road but with VR programs from a top league they could come out on top right where they want to be.

Watching sports in virtual reality is just one of the new ways that people will be interacting with the world starting now and into the future. With so many popular sports leagues and other things with wide fan bases, there are no limits to what virtual reality may bring to us in the future. There is baseball, basketball, the Olympics, football and more. Plus, in other countries sports like soccer and cricket are very popular. All of these ideas represent a great fan base for more virtual reality content.
