Combat sports are legitimately greatly improved by VR. Football, futbol, cricket, baseball etc all best watched on TV. I've never enjoyed sitting on the field as much as a few rows above in the stands and VR would replicate that - in the best scenario of VR.

late to the party but theres a pretty cool group of ppl working on building a library of HD, spatial, ringside combat sports. these ppl seem like real fans. theyll chat with anyone about their process and seem excited to share a project that excites them.

called Vantage: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vantage-official/id6698850979

at a closer look i dont think they even have a website. ive only seen them on reddit and now that i search i think they pretty much only exist there. despite that, whoever runs the account is nice, knowledgeable and responsive

it makes me, a college basketball fan, want to talk to some of the local smaller schools about a similar project
