The Cleveland Cavaliers have released printable paper rings that activate an augmented reality championship ring-wearing experience for all fans who download the new version of the app. The update came after the team disappointed some fans with its first attempt at having them virtually try on championship rings.
The Nike silicone bands that were given away to fans on opening night in celebration of the Cavaliers’ first NBA championship will no longer activate the augmented reality experience since some of them never worked in the first place.
“Unfortunately, the silicone bands proved too problematic to activate based on a design flaw not identified until after the rings were distributed to fans,” read a statement from the team.
