Virtual reality and experiences of the like are continually becoming more and more popular. Already Americans between 18-24 have surpassed previous generations by 70% in spending more time at home. This time at home as also increased due to COVID-19 and because of this it has become even more important to participate in physical activities without having to leave the house. Extended reality (XR) which combines immersive technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR) is helping to create in-home experiences that mirror the real world. XR technology uses lightweight head mounts and real sports gear to create a realistic experience for the user while also monitoring and recording body and equipment movement. The AI component uses high-speed cameras, sensors, and computer vision to measure actions and mimic the real world via realism within programmed outcomes. This is just the beginning of how the future of virtual sports is set to expand. Are you ready?
