The debut of XTADIUM on Meta Quest, which will allow Meta VR users to enjoy sports in a more realistic and engaging manner, has just been announced by Meta.
Could this contribute to raising awareness of Meta’s metaverse shift?
That would be a terrific approach to increase interest in Meta’s VR solutions, which are now in need of some PR support after receiving negative press for months.
Since we are still very early in the VR/metaverse adventure, Meta has frequently noted that the experience it has planned is not yet completely enabled.
Images like this, however, have not been favorably welcomed by intended consumers or Meta investors, despite Meta having invested tens of billions in the building of its metaverse.
To experience events in a whole different way, the presentation of live sports, however, could give yet another viewpoint on the potential of VR.
Although there have long been sports-related VR experiences, this new activation may help advance the technology and provide sports fans with a whole new way to interact with events, which may spur interest in VR usage.
especially if Meta is able to expand its lineup to include major events like live sports. That’s a bigger ask, however, it’s not difficult to picture, for example, the NBA Finals or the World Cup in this format, giving users the opportunity to witness important events in real time like never before.
However, it is currently constrained. Only a few sports can be played at XTADIUM, and only in the US. However, it does make a suggestion that there may be more than one way for Meta to attract consumers to its metaverse vision.
Additionally, the legless avatars still have a tacky appearance, one can’t miss.
