NextVR will offer 3D hockey highlights, starting with NHL All-Star Game

Best known for its virtual reality videos of live events, NextVR today announced a partnership with the NHL to deliver 3D highlights from the hockey league’s “marquee events.” According to NextVR, the post-game highlights will include everything from matchups and goals to big hits, using stereoscopic VR footage that lets viewers feel like they’re in the arena.

The deal starts with 3D video filmed at last weekend’s NHL All-Star Game in San Jose, California, which is available now on a new NextVR NHL channel. No additional NHL events are currently on NextVR’s schedule, but that will change shortly, complementing the NBA, boxing, Wimbleton tennis, and WWE wrestling events covered by the company’s services.
