While no NBA records were broken nor player milestones reached during the Brooklyn Net vs. New Orleans Pelicans matchup on Jan. 15, the game may prove to be historically significant.
The Nets became the first American sports franchise to feature a live game in the metaverse. The immersive virtual experience was powered by 100 high-resolution cameras surrounding the team’s home court that were fed into a viewpoint system that created and streamed 3D renderings of the live on-court action within seconds.
