During 2016, virtual reality has been an on-going discussion as it pertains to traditional sports and how the new technology can be leveraged by professional sports leagues, college athletic departments and media companies.
But how about, let’s say, sailing?
One Melbourne-based startup, MarineVerse, is hoping its current virtual reality offering, VR Regatta, will bring attention to the non-traditional sport and inspire people to participate.
“I believe virtual reality can greatly enhance sailing training, be a great way for all ‘landlocked’ sailors to stay connected to their hobby and introduce more people to sailing,” Greg Dziemidowicz, Co-Founder of MarineVerse, told Yachting World in July.
