IPL 2018 to Be Live Streamed in VR by Hotstar

[Trichromatic]

IPL 2018 will be streamed live in VR by Hotstar.

 

It won't be complete 360 degrees view, but viewers will be able to pause and see different angles at a particult time.

 

Irrespective of quality or issues with VR devices, feel this will enhance experience especially when you want to see field settings and all.

 

More analysis of captaincy and fielding will be available to us now.

Waiting for the day when I can virtually watch the match from any of the fielding positions.

Great Start.

High time I put my VR headset to use.

It would be great if others on the forum could give their opinion on this (VR) feature. A little survey for hotstar. 

 

For those who are unaware of what the feature provides- you get a clear picture from around the ground with an access to almost all the cameras in the ground. You have the rewind feature (hotstar default) along with the VR, which means you could basically go back and analyze that passage of play from a  360°angle. We might have seen the commentators analyzing the play from their box with these features and now we can play around with it ourselves.

Tamasha requires more gimmick like this. Can we add crotch vision to all the players and the umpires?

How much does a good VR set cost? What do I need to make it work on laptop or oled LG 2017 TV?

Very insightful. How long did it take you to come up with that? If you have got nothing to contribute under this thread, then just move on. No one's got a gun to your head to use this feature or watch the IPL. (neither do I anymore)

So did anyone here use this feature yet?

Don't have VR headset, waiting for the Oculus GO launch.

Haven't used this feature in IPL. But i tried this in other sports. Not for me.  I like cricket on a regular hdtv. Ideally about 60 inches. For me more than that gives me a headache.

Where is the IPL thread?
