On Sunday, December 9th, 2018 we brought the world’s first live VR production with a resolution of 6K online at the Telekom Dome in Bonn using Tiled Media’s ClearVR technology.
Commissioned by Deutsche Telekom (for the MagentaVR app), our project partners built a complete end-to-end system using Tiled Media’s ClearVR technology. On November 11, the first test took place and on December 9, 2018 the production was publicly streamed. The games of the Crailsheim Merlins – Telekom Baskets on November 11 and the game of the EWE Oldenburg Baskets – Telekom Baskets on December 9, 2018 were documented.
Users across Europe had the choice of two camera perspectives, both streamed in high 6K quality. It was possible to switch back and forth between VR impressions from the sidelines or from one of the baskets.
