Football training could soon get a boost from virtual reality
So far, the gaming and entertainment industries have welcomed the modern VR craze with open arms. In sports, however, that adoption hasn't been particularly prominent. Here's where EON Sports VR hopes to come in, starting with football, one of the most popular sports in the US. With a newly launched Kickstarter, and backed by legendary NFL coach Mike Ditka, the Kansas City, Missouri-based startup wants to integrate virtual reality into football training. Using a smartphone-powered VR headset (similar to the Gear VR), known as the Dive Sport, the goal is to build different coaching experiences for players that are "as fun as video games," yet as "serious as training camp."
