NEW YORK Baseball games will soon arrive on virtual-reality headsets. <\/p>
Video in the new At Bat VR app wont be in VR. Rather, the app places the user behind home plate and shows graphical depictions of each pitch, including a colored streak (red for strikes and green for balls) tracing the balls trajectory. The data come from sensors Major League Baseball already has installed in all of its stadiums. <\/p>
The app also lets users hover over icons to see the speed and type of each pitch, as well as which parts of a strike zone are strong or weak for a particular batter. Traditional TV coverage of the games will appear on a virtual screen, alongside play-by-play information and individual player statistics. <\/p>
Its more information that casual baseball fans will want, but hard-core fans might get a kick from having this perspective supplement what they see with regular TV cameras. Baseballs regular At Bat app does have some of this information, but not in 3-D and not while watching video. <\/p>
At Bat VR also will have a section for 360-degree video packages, but not of actual games. <\/p>
At Bat VR is included with Major League Baseballs existing streaming packages. At Bat VR also is subject to the usual blackouts for local teams; in such cases, the graphical depictions will still be available, but not the live video within the headset. <\/p>
The VR app comes out June 1 and works with Android phones and headsets compatible with Googles Daydream VR system. Theres no version for iPhones. <\/p>
