thanks to Intel for sponsoring this video immersive viewing experiences in
0:04
VR is an interesting idea that's why there's big investment going on like the
0:09
NFL working with Google YouTube Daydream VR to bring a miniseries out about what
0:14
it takes to train for game day that along with Fox Sports VR means that
0:18
there's a lot of investment going into viewing traditional Sports in VR but
0:23
what if you're a gamer and you want to see stuff like Counter Strike and League
0:26
of Legends if you're one of those guys there's sliver TV
0:38
it'll be available on mobile 360 Google cardboard Samsung Gear VR Oculus Rift
0:44
HTC Vive and hopefully soon PlayStation's psvr as well sliver gives
0:49
you a unique view of the game if you tune in and install it for the next
0:54
counter Striker League of Legends tournament that is supported by it you'll be able to jump into VR look up
1:00
and see the official stream of the match look down and see a unique view which is
1:04
more closer to the Playfield but external to the player view as well it's
1:08
pretty interesting that means that not only are you getting the VR Focus 3D
1:13
view down below but if you do want to check up with the traditional media
1:16
every once in a while you can just look up and it's right there if you want to check them out just go to whatever App
1:21
Store your supported headset uses and download the sliver TV app if you want
1:24
to check them out on Facebook it's SLI TV and on Instagram and Twitter it's
1:28
sliver TV 360 with they already have is interesting but what I'm more excited
1:32
for is their future more games different viewing experiences all that kind of
1:36
stuff will add a Polish to the platform that should be good for instance edel
1:40
and I competed in a backstage tournament for a game being worked on by Oculus and
1:44
Insomniac games called the unspoken it's
1:48
a wizard game with lots of movement and tactics and it's in mixed reality
1:52
because it's a VR game so you're actually in the environment as a person
1:56
being able to bring someone into that environment with sliver TV would be a
2:00
pretty jawdropping experience watching edel teleport all over the place and
2:04
wreck people in VR with him in the gaming environment is a very cool use
2:09
case and while sver TV hasn't announced this or even hinted to it at all I think
2:14
it would be a very cool usage of their platform and it's something that I would
2:18
like to see hit them up on Twitter if you would as well thanks to Intel for sending us to IM 2016 in Oakland this
2:24
