Virtual reality has allowed people to have experiences never thought possible. It can help athletes and officials train. It can entertain and engage sports fans. It allows one person to experience the perspective of another.
With that last point in mind, the IMG Studio recently launched a fully-immersive, virtual reality wheelchair basketball game. Created for South Regional Adaptive & Paralympic Sports (STRAPS) and Morgan’s Wonderland, the game immerses users into the world of wheelchair basketball to help players practice, but also increase awareness of Paralympic sports.
“We at STRAPS are so excited that this emerging technology is putting players in the game in a virtual way and increasing awareness of Paralympic sports,” STRAPS director Brooke Matula said in a statement.
