VR software for the San Francisco Grand Final released by SailGP
Fans will be pleased to learn that SailGP has included features for both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in its most current software.
The league’s Season 4 Grand Final takes place in San Francisco this weekend, July 13–14. The latest version of the app allows people to see it in higher resolution.
Whether watching in person or from home, spectators may enjoy an immersive 3D experience by just pointing their portable iOS smartphone towards the action happening in front of them with the SailGP app.
The new VR function uses GPS technology and runs on WiFi and a mobile connection to ensure that viewers don’t miss a second of the action. In addition to live statistics, graphical overlays on the water, F50 boat tracking, and much more, it provides a 360-degree view of the racecourse.
To allow fans to interact closely with one of SailGP’s identical F50 catamarans, the company has also introduced a unique augmented reality experience within the SailGP app.
This new application allows users to zoom in and out of a high-tech F50 to study every component that lets these boats reach peak speeds of 60 mph (100 km/h). It also allows users to take a 360-degree virtual tour of the boat.
Better still, fans might take a photo with their favourite teams’ F50 and share it on social media.
producing side-by-side images with their selected multihull F50 while, in some setups, flying on platforms that are thirty metres tall over the ocean.
Following this weekend’s Grand Final battle, SailGP intends to use these components for each of the 14 events on its 2024/2025 Season calendar, which was made public earlier this week.
The $2 million winner-take-all SailGP Season 4 Grand Final will take place in San Francisco on July 13 and 14. The race starts at 22:30 UK BST.
Five fleet races will pit the F50 fleet against one another. The top three teams will get points and advance to the $2 million winner-take-all Grand Final. There will be racing on July 13 and 14.
The points show that two teams from Australia, France, and Spain have a mathematical chance of facing New Zealand in the Grand Final. The score is tight, however, with Canada and Emirates GBR behind France by just four points.
SailGP’s Emmy Award-winning LiveLineFX technological advances and the Oracle Cloud allow this ground-breaking innovation, which allows the world championship to handle 1.15 billion data requests in immediate form via 125 sensors on each of the ten cutting-edge F50 catamarans per hour across T-Mobile’s 5G hybrid system solution.
