The future of sports: can you really feel like you're on the field?
Quote from markus on December 17, 2024, 7:44 amGuys, I came across an interesting topic. It turns out that they're developing things that will allow fans to feel the game, not just watch it. For example, you put on a suit with sensors and you can feel the ball hitting you or the players colliding! You'll also be able to "smell" the freshly mown grass at the stadium. Honestly, it sounds like science fiction, but it seems like it's not that far from reality. Do you think it's cool or will sports lose their soul?
Quote from ron4 on December 17, 2024, 8:58 amYes, I've heard about that! Technologies are really changing sports a lot. Virtual reality and all sorts of "smart" suits already allow you to feel like you're at the stadium, even if you're on the couch at home. For example, there are developments with neurosensors that imitate the emotions of athletes. Imagine, you'll be able to feel the same nervousness before a decisive penalty or the joy of a goal scored. In fact, we'll become not just spectators, but almost participants in the game. By the way, if you're interested, here's a cool article on this topic: https://ourculturemag.com/2024/09/25/modern-technology-and-immersive-sports-experiences . It also talks about virtual rooms with friends - like watching a match in a virtual company, but everyone sees it the way they want.

Quote from Rossa on December 17, 2024, 12:37 pmI don't know, guys. In my opinion, the whole thrill of sports is precisely in being at the stadium yourself, hearing the roar of the crowd, seeing how people react to goals. I was once at the cup final - the emotions are simply unreal. No VR headset can convey this.
