Formula E and Virtually Live partner for VR highlight real in anticipation of the third season of the racing series.
Following their joint announcement last March to develop an innovative True VR experience for fans of FIA Formula E Championship (the city street racing series), Formula E and Virtually Live are releasing a highlights experience on Virtually Live's platform.
According to the Virtually Live blog, the free app includes 20 minutes of Formula E ePrix content and focuses on the battle between racers Lucas Di Grassi & Sebastien Buemi in the fight for first place in the Championship. Users can virtually experience the Long Beach, Berlin and London ePrixs from the perspective of their driver of choice, or a variety of positions around the tracks. The app serves as a preview for the upcoming live experience, to be brought to fans during season 3.
The experience is available now for HTC Vive on the Steam Store and Viveport.
Virtually Live CEO Tom Impallomeni stated, “We’re delighted to help redefine the Formula E fan experience at home. Virtually Live is about putting the fan in the experience, and we are excited to launch, with our innovative partner FIA Formula E, a truly ground-breaking experience enabling fans around the world to re-live the excitement of last season’s climax and get a taste of the upcoming live experience.”
