NBA All-Stars Anthony Davis and Bradley Beal spent time at All-Star Weekend shooting hoops while sporting VR goggles. Despite the goggles and helmet-mounted camera, the shots they were making were real. It was meant to be a demonstration of the power of Verizon’s fast, low-latency 5G network.
With live video being sent through the 5G network right to their eyes, Beal and Davis drained shots, just as they would without some clunky goggles on their face.
“It’s crystal clear and there’s no lagging or anything,” Davis, the New Orleans Pelicans big man, said during the shootaround.
