SHOWTIME Boxing Steps Into The Virtual Reality Ring

These VR moments are really picking up steam, with sports leading the way. It seems like everyone and their uncle are racing to shoot 360 degree immersive video to show off virtual reality as a viable platform. The latest is SHOWTIME, and they’d like you to watch WBA Middleweight World Champion Daniel Jacobs fight Peter Quillin in VR…for free.

The fight was just 3 days ago, so it’s likely that you haven’t seen it yet. I don’t want to ruin the outcome of the match for you (it won’t take long to watch haha) but thanks to YouTube’s 360 degree support, you can now step into the ring…almost literally.
