Next up will be DAYTONA 500. The technology promises to &#8220;bring fans to the starting line, the middle of the infield and with team racing crews as they change tires on pit row.&#8221; The virtual reality programming from FOX Sports will be available on the NextVR portal.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Shanks, FOX Sports&#8217;s president, COO and executive producer, noted, &#8220;It&#8217;s all about delivering something new and exciting for our viewers. Virtual reality is the next great frontier in immersive experiences for fans across a wide variety of sports. It&#8217;s a rapidly changing technology, and this deal with NextVR positions us to be on the front lines for years to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have worked with FOX Sports for over a year to test live, virtual-reality programming across several sports,&#8221; said Brad Allen, executive chairman of NextVR. &#8220;This wide-ranging agreement is proof that our technology provides an exciting and compelling option to witness great sporting events in virtual reality.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAGUNA BEACH: FOX Sports is set to start offering live virtual-reality coverage of select sporting events in the U.S., entering into a five-year partnership with NextVR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[264,311,312],"class_list":["post-6800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-fox-sports","tag-virtual-reality","tag-vr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FOX Sports in Virtual Reality Partnership - TVUSA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"LAGUNA BEACH: FOX Sports is set to start offering live virtual-reality coverage of select sporting events in the U.S., entering into a five-year partnership with NextVR.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-sports-in-virtual-reality-partnership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FOX Sports in Virtual Reality Partnership - TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LAGUNA BEACH: FOX Sports is set to start offering live virtual-reality coverage of select sporting events in the U.S., entering into a five-year partnership with NextVR.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-sports-in-virtual-reality-partnership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-02-17T18:00:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-02-17T20:13:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-sports-in-virtual-reality-partnership\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-sports-in-virtual-reality-partnership\/\",\"name\":\"FOX Sports in Virtual Reality Partnership - TVUSA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-02-17T18:00:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-02-17T20:13:19+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"description\":\"LAGUNA BEACH: FOX Sports is set to start offering live virtual-reality coverage of select sporting events in the U.S., entering into a five-year partnership with NextVR.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-sports-in-virtual-reality-partnership\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-sports-in-virtual-reality-partnership\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/fox-sports-in-virtual-reality-partnership\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"FOX Sports in Virtual Reality Partnership\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\",\"name\":\"TVUSA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
