MVP prototype · Built for Apple Vision Pro

Sit on the bench.
From anywhere.

BenchView streams live sporting events into 3D space around you, so it feels like you're sitting right on the sideline instead of watching a flat screen.

Bench seat · 360°
How it works

From the sideline to your living room.

We place a 360° camera at the bench, then wrap that view around you inside Vision Pro.

1

Capture the bench view

A 360° camera sits where the players sit, giving a full sphere of the field, the crowd and the sideline.

2

Map it into 3D space

The footage is projected onto a sphere around you, with head tracking so you can look anywhere.

3

Step into the game

Open BenchView on Vision Pro, enter immersive mode and you're on the bench, no tickets required.

Why immersive

A TV shows you the game.
BenchView puts you in it.

The best seat in the house is usually the one you can't buy. We make it a tap away.

Real presence

Look left at the coach, right at the bench, ahead at the play. The scene stays fixed in space while you move your head.

No app install to try

The prototype runs in Safari on Vision Pro using WebXR, so a link is all someone needs to experience it.

Access for every fan

Fans far from the venue, or who can't get a seat, can still feel what it's like to be there.

Built to grow

Starting from photo and video, the same pipeline extends to live streaming and stereoscopic depth.
