VR madness
The NCAA has announced that this weekend's Final Four and National Championship games will be live-streamed in virtual reality. Fans who own a Samsung Gear VR will be able to watch each game from a courtside perspective for free by downloading the NCAA March Madness Live app in the Oculus Store. This is the second big move into virtual reality by the NCAA this month — just a few weeks ago, the association partnered with Fox Sports to live-stream a handful of Big East Tournament games.
Also, if you don't have a Gear VR, the NCAA is making a 2D version of 180-degree stream available on the web, and 360-degree highlight footage will be posted to the NCAA March Madness page on Facebook. That said, it sounds like CBS, Turner Sports, and the NCAA are at least trying to add some flair to the experience, which is good because live-streamed spherical content can still be a bit rough on the eyes.
