The San Jose Sharks virtual reality experience is designed with the Immersive Media Engine technology, spearheaded by Zeality. Zeality's Immersive Media Engine (IME) is the industry's most complete cloud based platform, offering a full suite of socially engaging and viral features for VR and 360° content.
This new functionality will give fans a unique insight into the San Jose Sharks, SAP Center, and more. Fans will be able to virtually walk through the Shark head and experience skating onto the ice before the home game; or get an in-depth look into the locker room and how the team prepares for a game. Fans will also be able to record and share their viewing experience within 360 and VR content by way of Zeality's Re/Lives technology.
"The Immersive Media arena is evolving into an ecosystem that fans around the world can experience," stated Dipak Patel, co-founder and CEO at Zeality. "Our capabilities combined with the content and deep fan base of the Sharks presents a fantastic opportunity to boost the overall experience Sharks fans can get. We are thrilled to work with the San Jose Sharks to make the vision of Immersive Media a reality."
