Showtime has released a 360-degree of the Daniel Jacobs vs. Peter Quillin fight. The technology is called 360 VR video, and you can actually control the camera to pan around and get different views.
In this case, that means that not only can you watch Jacobs score his TKO victory at 1:25 of the 1st round, pulling off the shocking upset, but you can also watch the crowd reactions from the entire arena right as it’s happening, and get other intriguing perspectives throughout.
For the first time ever, a boxing match has been released in its entirety in virtual reality, as SHOWTIME captured the shocking first round TKO from Saturday night’s main event between Jacobs and previously undefeated Quillin. The all-Brooklyn main event has been made available in 360 video from ring-side, giving fans an unprecedented boxing experience. The VR video engrosses viewers in the matchup of these top middleweights.
To enjoy this 360 VR experience, watch on your mobile device, with a Google Cardboard viewing device along with the YouTube app for Android, or on a computer using the Chrome browser.
