Saint NL Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 https://www.reddit.com/r/VisionPro/s/d9WrXxPrAP Link won't embed for some reason Using the Apple VR headset, apparently the future of watching football will be like this. I can't decide if it looks great, or shit. Hopefully it's working before the end of the season so we can see this passes between the CBs from every angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Bates Statue Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Sky have had an app available on Oculus Quest for a few years now which lets viewers see the action from different parts of the stadium. It looks very cool but they don't really promote it, and I've never bothered to actually shell out and try the live experience. Edit - it's been discontinued as of this January.

East Kent Saint Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 No , but as cricket has shown if everyone can’t watch it then interest falls and you end up inventing endless new formats to keep the game going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you can't be saying you only want the support to come from, and represent, the city it's in? I thought with your woke sentiments you would encourage more TV and more fan experiences, so our overseas, druid and northern (basingrad) friends can really feel the special atmosphere of singing about pompey and shouting pork all game whilst wearing a VR headset?

We already own the whole of the UK below the line from London, through Birmingham up to Liverpool or is that Bournemouths now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Mulgrew Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Does the new Sky deal mean that SaintsPlay streams for UK audiences stop but remain for foreign audiences? If so, a VPN will come in handy for those unable to attend our matches (assuming we stay in the Championship). Asking for a friend. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does any other television programme. Surely IF you were gonna watch any television programme in this fashion (and it's not for me but I certainly wouldn't begrudge others for preferring it) then it'd be a live sport as opposed to EastEnders or Games of Thrones.

They used to have some good offers when signing up, but at the moment all the VPNs are doing these cashback offers. So every time you buy something with the VPN enabled, you earn a percentage of the money spent back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free version, which I have, used to give a choice of the Netherlands, USA or Japan as a free location but now gives only the former. It is good and I recommend it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah! For example, Pat Sharp's Fun House. Prime example of transcending reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
