The Convergence of Virtual Reality and Live Sports

LogoGoPro (GPRO) last week announced a partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL) to provide hockey fans never-before-seen perspectives of the game, including the use of cameras worn by players and officials. The company also is in partnership with Vislink to provide real-time, on-athlete video perspectives for live broadcasts. Similarly, since the end of November 2014, the Guitammer Company (GTMM) has been partnering with the San Jose Sharks and Comcast SportsNet California (CSNCA) to broadcast this year's Sharks home games in '4D', utilizing sensors on the boards to broadcast real-time the feel and bone jarring impacts as the NHL players crash each other into the boards for the viewers at home to experience. These developments constitute a compelling step forward in the broadcast of live sports, and it might be worth looking at where this is headed.
