The NBA has teamed up with Budweiser to give fans their first virtual reality experience. At their playoff game last week, the Cleveland Cavaliers gave out cardboard VR headsets that also doubled as beer carriers. Attendees could access experiences like player intros, an inside look at the locker room, and a courtside view of the national anthem. The NBA says they are “always looking for new ways to connect with…fans by leveraging emerging technologies that deliver unique experiences,” and plans to continue to launch more videos throughout the playoffs. The NBA is latest of many brands that have jumped into using VR. (Adweek)
