Anyone who’s ever played fantasy sports has endured those agonizing minutes hoping a certain wide receiver might fall a few spots to his or her draft pick, but a startup company is empowering fantasy players to be proactive in filling out one’s roster.
AR Sports uses a randomized algorithm to disperse virtual NFL players within a certain geographic radius of each fantasy participant. Procuring a player is no longer done with a mouse click but through augmented reality. Rather than than throwing a red-and-white ball at Pokémon characters, in AR Sports, one throws a football to snare a running back onto the roster.
