VR MMORPG游戏《Zenith》开发商Ramen VR获Y Combinator投资

使用Oculus Quest、Nreal Light看篮球赛，日本软银推动5G+VR/AR应用落地

2020年，5G将正式开始商用，其实从今年开始各大运营商就已经加紧部署，全球公司都想抢在第一时间分得第一杯羹。

8月22日-25日软银（Softbank）在埼玉县超级圆形竞技场中举办的日本代表国际篮球赛上，结合5G，VR/AR也在这个舞台中大放异彩。

现场部署了5G网络，并设置了VR/AR体验场地，被选中的幸运观众可以在现场使用VR/AR设备进行观赛。

现场提供了两种设备以供使用——Oculus Quest VR一体机以及Nreal Light MR眼镜。其中使用了软银的体育观赛平台LiVR。

与往常一样，观众可以在离赛场最近的3个点近距离观赛，并且还能看到周围的虚拟化身，听到他们说话。Oculus Quest自带6Dof定位，用户可以在其中跟其他观众挥手打招呼。不只是琦玉的超级圆形竞技场，身处六本木的其他观众也可以在线一同观看，临场感非常强。

另一方面，使用Nreal Light MR设备的观众，现场可以体验两个Demo。跟刚刚的VR一样，观众也可以通过MR眼镜进行观战，同时也能看到周围的其他虚拟化身。

另外一个Demo中，通过扫描桌上的篮球二维码，能看到迷你尺寸的选手在桌上运动的样子。

除了VR/AR之外，用户还可以选择自己喜欢的视角进行观战，近距离观看选手的动作。

Nreal Light计划2020年春季发售，在日本已与KDDI建立合作，虽然目前尚未公布与Softbank合作的消息，近期公布的可能性非常大。
