High tech hits the field at Vikings camp

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer observered Monday as former Vikings special teams standout Heath Farwell set up a camera for the STRIVR virtual reality system.

MANKATO – Teddy Bridgewater dropped back to pass and had his every move and all his receiving options documented by a camera strategically positioned near his face.

Almost literally in his face.

This wasn’t a photo shoot or some other staged event. It happened right in the middle of a training camp practice.

Welcome to football, circa 2015.

The Vikings are one of four NFL teams utilizing new virtual reality technology designed to make practice plays become more realistic in the film room.
