LiveLike VR
LiveLike is a social sports viewing app for virtual reality compatible with the GearVR, but is also due to come to other VR devices such as the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive as the development of the app continues. The app allows users to sit inside a luxury skybox with a giant window overlooking the stadium. LiveLike uses footage from cameras already present in the sports industry. Meaning that unlike some of its competitors aiming to bring full 360 degree viewing experiences to VR adopters, it can make a quick entry into the market.
LiveLike uses a wide lens camera to provide a 170-degree view of the pitch/field of the game that you’re watching, allowing you to sit in the comfort of your home but get a sense of that feeling you can only get from being at a live match. As the technology develops and the 360-degree live environment apps begin to pick up, there’s a good chance that LiveLike will also up its game. For those who have always wanted to go to see their favorite team however, this is the closest and most affordable experience available in the near future.
