Fancy yourself as the next Johnny Wilkinson but a little too fragile to get knocked about on the field? Have no fear! UK Telco and sponsor of the England Rugby Union Team with the help of the Oculus rift and a setup consisting of 9 GoPro HD Hero 3 cameras on a custom Gimbal head lets you get right into the thick of things. Join the team on the training pitch and interact as a rookie player would, drilling along with the scrums and attacking plays. I’m not sure how lineouts and tackling would work but the idea is pretty smart.
Granted this is not available to just everyone, but the concept of what can be done is a very interesting one. What do you think Malaysia could have in its place? Would you train with the Harimau Malaya?
