Streaming service, Migu, and Chinese TikTok (Douyin) will host VR metaverse experiences, allowing remote viewers to watch the world cup together in virtual rooms.
Both platforms sub-licensed the rights to air live
and on-demand coverage of the world cup, creating what
Migu believes to be the first virtual interactive space
for watching the football tournament.
Migu also announced plans
to host a metaverse world cup music festival as
well as a “surprise visitor” from 2070.
VR headset
manufacturer, Pico, announced that users can watch live broadcasts
of the world cup using VR goggles, watching games
in virtual rooms with other users.
