Watching the Warriors in VR was so close to epic


I watched the Warriors-Rockets game with my Meta Quest 3, getting a courtside view for free — and it was fun, frantic, and imperfect.

Why watch the Warriors game on your flatscreen TV when you could (virtually) sit courtside and see your sports heroes up close as if you'd paid thousands to hang out with the celebs and venture capitalists? But there's a reason why broadcasts default to a top-down view in arena sports: you need a wide, tall vantage to see the full flow of a game for fast breaks and long passes.
