Fans of baseball will now be able to experience what it is like to compete in a Home Run Derby. T-Mobile is using virtual reality at this year’s All-Star Game and Home Run Derby to put fans in the batter’s box. “We’re taking the Derby out of the ballpark and letting fans step up to the pate with 2015 Champion Todd Frazier in a first of its kind VR experience for the Home Run Derby…” said John Legere president and CEO of T-Mobile.
The VR experience will allow fans to step into the shoes of Todd Frazier, last year’s Home Run Derby winner, and see what it is like to hit home runs.
