NBA extends partnership with Meta to bring basketball games into the metaverse
The NBA has announced the extension of its existing partnership with Meta to use VR (virtual reality) technology to broadcast its games. The games will be broadcast using Xtadium, a Metaverse application for broadcasting immersive sports experiences using Meta’s consumer headset, the Meta Quest 2. The league will feature 52 matches on Meta’s flagship metaspace application, Horizon Worlds, for users to enjoy and watch. Five of the games will be presented in a more immersive way, using 180-degree single-mirror technology.
