The rising uptake of over-the-top sports streaming services, combined with the parallel growth of esports, and the rekindled interest in up-and-coming Extended and Mixed Reality technologies, create a potential market for more enjoyable, and immersive (e)sports viewing experiences. In this work, we introduce such an immersive experience design for the viewing of (e)sports events by means of a cost-efficient head-mounted display. Specifically, we recount how an XR-based application has been designed, developed, evaluated, and subsequently, optimized. The application allows users to watch (e)sports events in a virtual environment, providing a sense of presence in the game, while giving them the ability to choose between a plethora of alternative streams for the same game, interact with other viewers, and stay informed about how people on social media are commenting on the game.

摘要

The rising uptake of over-the-top sports streaming services, combined with the parallel growth of esports, and the rekindled interest in up-and-coming Extended and Mixed Reality technologies, create a potential market for more enjoyable, and immersive (e)sports viewing experiences. In this work, we introduce such an immersive experience design for the viewing of (e)sports events by means of a cost-efficient head-mounted display. Specifically, we recount how an XR-based application has been designed, developed, evaluated, and subsequently, optimized. The application allows users to watch (e)sports events in a virtual environment, providing a sense of presence in the game, while giving them the ability to choose between a plethora of alternative streams for the same game, interact with other viewers, and stay informed about how people on social media are commenting on the game.
