The Saint John Sea Dogs have become the first sports team in North America to launch a Discovery Zone with interactive, top grade immersive technology. It comes about as a result of a collaboration between the Sea Dogs and Deloitte.
Team President and General Manager Trevor Georgie says what will be on offer each home game will include virtual reality, artificial intelligence and robotics to enhance the fan experience. On display were a virtual tour of the space station, the chance to play goal and take a roller coaster ride.
There are only 33 Discovery Zones worldwide and this is the first one that’s public. The Discovery Zone will be launched this Saturday night when Chicoutimi is in town to play the Sea Dogs.
Georgie says the technology will be continually changing throughout the season.
