Microsoft & the NFL explore the future of football
What if game day was no longer confined to a television screen, but covered a room and took over the coffee table? Microsoft has teamed with the NFL to demonstrate what might be possible with HoloLens, which the company hails as the world’s first fully untethered holographic computer.
The video below shows how HoloLens and the NFL looked into the future together to dream up new ways fans could experience football with mixed reality. Imagine the game extended beyond the standard screen, with displays, player stats and instant replays on the coffee table.
With HoloLens, running Windows 10, players could be brought to life through HD, 3D displays – allowing viewers to experience the athleticism and skills behind their stats. That game-changing play could pop up as a 3D hologram so that the field could be viewed from all angles, all while fantasy football scores update in real time, without the need to look down at another screen.
Watch the video to see some of the early thinking around how HoloLens and the NFL could bring football to life in the living room.
