Since he bought the Clippers, Steve Ballmer has continued to promote new technologies, whether it is the equipment used in the room for lighting and giant screens, materials and means of transport for their next enclosure in Inglewood, or even in terms of augmented reality during the retransmission of the meetings.
This year again, the Los Angeles franchise will innovate with six types of broadcast for the same match. baptized ClipperVision, this device is a first in the history of the NBA, and it will be offered for more than 70 games this season. Its cost for the Clippers fan: about 200 dollars a year, and it is integrated into the new NBA application.
In addition to the traditional broadcasts available on the League Pass, the Clippers fan can opt for a broadcast with augmented reality, with stats that appear superimposed. For foreign fans, there will be a stream in Spanish and another in Korean. But what the Clippers are pushing is the BallerVision version. This is a broadcast mode with commentary from Jamal Crawford, Baron Davis, Paul Pierce, Quentin Richardson, and Matt Barnes. Sitting on their sofa, they comment on the match, as one could do with friends.
“I wanted to create a product like ClipperVision from the day I joined the Clippers. Years of effort, hard work and development led to its launch”, said Steve Ballmer, former boss of Microsoft. ” The augmented reality and interactivity of ClipperVision will allow us to transform the experience of our fans watching games, and provide them with more media to watch the Clippers. »
Here’s a look at the BallerVision stream on ‘ClipperVision.’
