使用Oculus Quest、Nreal Light看籃球賽，日本軟銀推動5G+VR/AR應用落地

2020年，5G將正式開始商用，其實從今年開始各大運營商就已經加緊部署，全球公司都想搶在第一時間分得第一杯羹。

8月22日-25日軟銀（Softbank）在埼玉縣超級圓形競技場中舉辦的日本代表國際籃球賽上，結合5G，VR/AR也在這個舞臺中大放異彩。

現場部署了5G網絡，并設置了VR/AR體驗場地，被選中的幸運觀眾可以在現場使用VR/AR設備進行觀賽。

現場提供了兩種設備以供使用——Oculus Quest VR一體機以及Nreal Light MR眼鏡。其中使用了軟銀的體育觀賽平臺LiVR。

與往常一樣，觀眾可以在離賽場最近的3個點近距離觀賽，并且還能看到周圍的虛擬化身，聽到他們說話。Oculus Quest自帶6Dof定位，用戶可以在其中跟其他觀眾揮手打招呼。不只是琦玉的超級圓形競技場，身處六本木的其他觀眾也可以在線一同觀看，臨場感非常強。

另一方面，使用Nreal Light MR設備的觀眾，現場可以體驗兩個Demo。跟剛剛的VR一樣，觀眾也可以通過MR眼鏡進行觀戰，同時也能看到周圍的其他虛擬化身。

另外一個Demo中，通過掃描桌上的籃球二維碼，能看到迷你尺寸的選手在桌上運動的樣子。

除了VR/AR之外，用戶還可以選擇自己喜歡的視角進行觀戰，近距離觀看選手的動作。

Nreal Light計劃2020年春季發售，在日本已與KDDI建立合作，雖然目前尚未公布與Softbank合作的消息，近期公布的可能性非常大。
