The PGA Tour has published an augmented reality experience that lets fans take a virtual tour of the TPC Scottsdale golf course with Hololens. And now the league is accelerating those efforts with the launch an iOS augmented reality app this spring.
The PGA TOUR’s Hololens app, which recently became available for free in the Microsoft store, provides users with a bird’s-eye view of the course by placing a tabletop-sized digital rendering and 3D map of it in the physical world in front of them.
Built in conjunction with Taqtile, a startup that builds map-based augmented reality experiences (including this one for the Cleveland Cavaliers), the app offers users access to real-time local weather and PGA TOUR ShotLink data of player statistics from last year’s Waste Management tournament, where the Hololens experience first debuted but wasn’t made public until now.
