From digital trading cards to stadiums in the metaverse, sport is undergoing a massive technological facelift. Ward De Kruiff at EPAM Continuum explains how these shifts are changing the very nature of fandom.
Advancements in technology are redefining the way fans interact with their favorite sports and teams. Digital platforms are enabling fans to collect and trade virtual memorabilia, creating new avenues for engagement and community building.
Moreover, the emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality is revolutionizing the spectator experience, allowing fans to immerse themselves in games from the comfort of their homes or even within virtual arenas. This evolution is not just enhancing the viewing experience but also fostering a sense of belonging among fans, regardless of their geographic location.
As these technological innovations continue to unfold, the landscape of sports fandom is being reshaped, offering exciting possibilities for interaction and connection in the digital age.
