Ahead of NBA All-Star 2018, NBA on TNT Launches Virtual Reality App Experience Powered by Intel True VR Fans Can Watch NBA All-Star in Fully Immersive Virtual Reality, Including Mtn Dew Kickstart Rising Stars, State Farm All-Star Saturday Night, and the 67th NBA All-Star Game
Live VR Coverage Will Continue with a Select Schedule of Marquee NBA on TNT Matchups through the 2018 Conference Finals
February 12, 2018
Bringing basketball fans closer than ever before to the thrilling action of NBA on TNT, Turner Sports and Intel have announced the launch of the NBA on TNT VR app, powered by Intel True VR.
The app takes fans directly inside NBA on TNTs Studio J, which was re-created in VR and serves as the portal into all the available programming. Fans can watch game highlights and game recaps and, once logged in with their TV service provider information, have access to select live NBA on TNT games and full game replays in VR, featuring in-game broadcast stats. Every game will feature at least four camera angles, putting fans in total control of the viewing experience. Fans will have the option to be transported courtside to the best seats in the house or up in the stands for a birds eye view.
The new NBA on TNT VR app for Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus,* and Google Daydream* headsets is available for download today, for no charge, via the Oculus* and Google Play* stores.
Intel and Turner Sports announced a multiyear partnership in November 2017, with Intel becoming the exclusive provider of virtual reality for NBA on TNT. They have since collaborated closely to create an authentic NBA on TNT experience, tapping into Intel True VR to transport fans courtside for a fully immersive view of the action.
