Saint NL Posted 10 April, 2024 Posted 10 April, 2024 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
Ted Bates Statue Posted 10 April, 2024 Posted 10 April, 2024 (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 12 April, 2024 Posted 12 April, 2024 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

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?

Tommy Mulgrew Posted 12 April, 2024 Posted 12 April, 2024 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. 😉

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
