MANKATO, Minn. -- Vikings coach Mike Zimmer might be regarded as old school, but he's embracing the team having gone high tech.
The Vikings are using a virtual reality camera system during training camp at Mankato State Minnesota and likely will continue to in practices throughout the season. A camera placed on a stand on the field films at 360 degrees, and players later can put on goggles and watch everything that has occurred around them.
Zimmer initially was skeptical about using the system. But after STRIVR Labs, the Palo Alto, Calif., company that developed the technology, reached out to him, he was intrigued.
