Overwatch League, Sansar Add Virtual Reality to Esports
The Overwatch League is taking its players and fans from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional.
On Wednesday, the league announced a partnership with Sansar, a free social virtual reality platform, to enable its gamers to more intimately interact with fans in virtual spaces.
Sansar says it has partnered with multiple professional teams from the Overwatch League, including the Houston Outlaws and the San Francisco Shock.
Sansar takes this a step further by using three-dimensional technologies to transport fans into the same virtual rooms as players, and can be used for customized streaming spaces for events or intimate meet and greets.
