The Virtual Sky Box! |
A crowd of more than 67,000 people watched
the Philadelphia Eagles trounce the New England Patriots last Sunday at
U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, while around 103 million viewers
across the country did the same on their television sets. At the same
time, a small group of Verizon employees in New York City were viewing
the game in a different way: through VR. And they were able to do so entirely over a 5G connection.
It was all part of an ambitious 5G stress test that Verizon quietly
ran during Super Bowl LII, and according to the company, it was a
success. "This latest demonstration at Super Bowl LII and in New York
City is another example of how we're pushing 5G to exploit
never-before-imagined use cases and applications," said Sanyogita
Shamsunder, Verizon's executive director of 5G ecosystems and
innovation.
