NBA VR Schedule

NBA fans can get front-row seats to games in VR this season. The NBA is expanding its virtual reality broadcasts to include all 52 games in Xtadium and Meta Horizon Worlds. The virtual experience is free, but users need a compatible headset and an NBA League Pass subscription.

The immersive 180-degree VR games transport fans from their couches to courtside seats. In Xtadium, they can also suit up their Meta Avatars in NBA gear.

Meta Quest

The Meta Quest is one of the most popular VR headsets. The headset has recently been updated with a new software update that makes the device faster and more comfortable. It also offers improved performance, including up to a 26 per cent increase in CPU speed and 19 per cent GPU speed. This significant upgrade will likely encourage more people to try VR.

The NBA has partnered with Meta to stream live games in virtual reality. Fans can watch the games in Xtadium, an interactive NBA arena, or Horizon Worlds, a social VR environment where players can play epic games and unlock avatars. NBA fans can also watch on-demand NBA games and highlights in Xtadium. The NBA will be streaming 52 free NBA games in Stadium this season and will also offer NBA League Pass in a social VR experience.

Those who want to see the games more immersively can visit the dedicated NBA Arena on Meta Quest or purchase digital NBA apparel at the Meta Avatar Store. However, the NBA has made it clear that these experiences are geo-restricted. If you are not near a physical event, you must watch on TV or Oculus TV instead.

Aside from the Xtadium and Horizon Venues, plenty of other games on the Meta Quest exist. These include Asgard’s Wrath 2, Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, PowerWash Simulator, and Assassin’s Creed Nexus. These games are available at launch and will work with Quest 2 and 3.

The Meta Quest is an impressive technology that can transform the workplace. It can be used for virtual collaboration, 3D modelling and design, and more. This is especially useful for product design, architecture, and engineering companies. This technology can save time and money by allowing teams to collaborate remotely. It can also help improve decision-making by enabling users to visualize products and design changes in real-time. This can be an extremely powerful tool for businesses that want to stay competitive in the crowded VR industry.

Xtadium

The NBA has extended its partnership with Meta to broadcast 52 live games in virtual reality on the Meta Quest headset. These games will be available in the Stadium App on Quest and the NBA Arena in Meta Horizon Worlds starting November 17. NBA fans can watch these games in VR with friends and cheer for their favourite team.

This season, every game shown in Xtadium and on the Meta Horizon Worlds app will be filmed in immersive 180-degree VR, an upgrade from last year’s five immersive games. Also, fans can host their Xtadium Watch Parties by inviting friends to join them in private party rooms as avatars, which helps foster a social sports experience during game nights. The Stadium app will allow multi-game viewing and offer game highlights, recaps, and archival footage.

Users must have a valid NBA League Pass subscription to view the Xtadium and Meta Horizon World content. This includes the base subscription (Long Term) and the monthly and annual premium options. The games will be available for users in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe, Australia, and Africa.

In addition to watching live NBA games in VR, Xtadium will let users hang out with fellow fans before and after the game. This will be a great way to get excited for the NBA season. Xtadium will also feature virtual merchandise and other augmented reality experiences.

Xtadium is free to download and comes packed with free NBA game content, but it will eventually require a virtual ticket to access premium content. The virtual tickets can be purchased in the Xtadium app or directly from the NBA website. Users may encounter problems with video playback if their headset’s IPD (interpupillary distance) is not properly configured.

Xtadium, the official virtual reality platform of the NBA, offers the most authentic viewing experience possible in VR. It features the real NBA courtside seats and the same cameras that film in-person games. Its holographic graphics will provide an immersive viewing experience and a realistic feel. The app is compatible with the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive. It is the most authentic and interactive way to watch a basketball game, and it allows you to interact with other players during the game.

Horizon Venues on Quest

If you have a Meta VR headset and a Quest 2, you can get courtside seating for NBA games this year by using the new Horizon Venues app. You can watch a game with friends and key into exclusive play-by-play commentary from former NBA champion Richard Jefferson and sportscaster Adam Amin. In addition to basketball, you can also watch other live events, including concerts, comedy performances, and more.

This new experience combines two existing Meta apps: Xtadium and Horizon Venues. It will bring you closer to the action than ever before with high-quality video, and it can be used with your headphones or a headset. This week, it will be available in the NBA Arena section of Horizon Worlds and Xtadium. You will need a paid NBA League Pass to watch Xtadium or Horizon Venues games.

Originally known as Oculus Venues, Horizon Venues is a social virtual reality space where you can hang out with friends and watch various events. This includes marquee music, sporting events, yoga classes, and meditation sessions.

In addition to a full range of activities, the app has integrated social features such as group chat and photo capture. It also supports Oculus Touch, a motion controller system enabling you to reach out and wave your hands as if at an event.

The standalone Venues app will be retired on June 6, and users who don’t have a Quest 2 will lose access to the program. However, they can still attend events in Horizon Worlds, which has other event spaces such as the Horizon Workroom and Horizon Home living room.

Facebook has also announced a new feature called Personal Boundary, which will let you set a distance between your avatar and other people in the VR environment. This will be available for Horizon Worlds and Horizon Venues today, making it easier to avoid unwanted interactions.

NextVR

The NBA is partnering with NextVR this season to stream 27 games in virtual reality. The games, including the Oculus Quest, will be available to NBA League Pass subscribers on VR headsets. The NBA and NextVR will offer a new experience each week this season that includes announcers, in-game analysis, and in-arena entertainment. The VR broadcasts will also feature dynamic stats and a user-selected point of view.

Founded in 2009, NextVR is a company that specializes in recording live events and streaming them to virtual reality headsets. It has a laundry list of high-profile partners in sports and entertainment, including Live Nation (NYSE: LYV), WWE, Fox Sports, and the National Basketball Association. The company is based in Orange County, California and has over 40 patents for a process that upscales high-quality video streams for VR headsets.

NextVR is a VR event capture and delivery technology company that combines stereoscopic 3D TV, multi-user interactivity and immersive VR content to create a lifelike, interactive experience. Its AVTR platform can capture live HD or 3D VR content and distribute it over the internet in a scalable, low-latency manner. The company can deliver live VR broadcasts to multiple devices at once and is used by leading media companies to support their multi-user interaction and social experiences.

Aside from the NBA games, NextVR is streaming its best virtual reality experiences for Oculus Quest users. The curated channel features a range of titles, from NBA Finals Game Six Highlights with access to the Toronto Raptors locker room celebration to NHRA Drag Racing and Day to Night Timelapse. The content is free to download and is available for all Oculus Quest owners.

The NBA is bringing fans courtside seats in virtual reality every Tuesday this season with its second-season partnership with NextVR. The official NBA League Pass VR partner will continue to stream a top game in virtual reality each week for the entire regular season, beginning tonight with the New Orleans Pelicans against the Houston Rockets at the Golden 1 Center.
