Golden Gophers Go With Virtual Reality To Tempt Football Recruits

umn_pr_makingof_02-e1479929783820-300x200“It’s insane. This changes the game,” Arkansas football head coach Bret Bielema has said about VR in the past. Arkansas is one of a number of schools that work with FusionSports competitor StriVR.

FusionSports believes that its VR experience through the custom built mobile app also helps to cause recruits to avoid noise from social media and keep them engaged and focused on the content that takes a lot of time and cost to develop.

“Filming the Gophers was not only exciting for us, but also for the players, fans, and even Goldy Gopher,” adds FusionSports Founder and CEO Ashley DeWalt. “With this VR app, I have no doubt recruits nationally will see the football program in a whole new light and dispel any misconceptions.”
