Fox Sports and NextVR to Demo VR Coverage of the U.S. Open

Fox Sports and NextVR plan to demo live streaming of virtual reality coverage during the U.S. Open golf championship. “At the tournament’s VIP tents, approximately 100-300 visitors daily will have the opportunity to view the live stream of what Fox Sports believes might be the first live VR experience with multi-camera coverage,” writes Carolyn Giardina for The Hollywood Reporter. “Five spherical camera rigs will be placed at vantage points around the course in order to allow fans to visit these sites in real-time.” The experience will also be live-streamed to Fox Sports locations in Los Angeles, New York and Vancouver. The NextVR portal will feature highlights for Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR users.
