The game will include a \u201c3D representation\u201d of on-field avatars corresponding to the game\u2019s real-time action, tracked using the same Sony Hawk-Eye cameras<\/a> used for the league\u2019s Statcast data<\/a>. In addition, participants who prefer a traditional view can watch the game\u2019s television broadcast on the virtual park\u2019s giant Jumbotrons floating around the field and parking lot. There should be plenty to keep you occupied if the on-field play gets dull: The stadium supports spatial audio, and you can talk with nearby fans, play trivia games and take part in a scavenger hunt to win NFT collectible \u201ccards.\u201d<\/p>\n

The entire setup sounds like something you\u2019d eventually use with a VR or AR headset like the Meta Quest<\/a> or Apple\u2019s upcoming Vision Pro<\/a>. While it may be a precursor to those more immersive experiences, you\u2019ll access this game on flat screens through a web browser. MLB says a desktop or laptop provides the best experience, but it recommends Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android if you want to tune in on mobile.<\/p>\n

The experience begins at 6:40PM ET on September 20. You\u2019ll need to create an MLB profile to join. After that, you can head to the park\u2019s webpage<\/a> to create a custom avatar (rocking your favorite team\u2019s apparel) and start exploring.<\/p>\n

Update 9\/15\/23 10:48AM ET: <\/strong>The headline of this article has been updated to the correct team pairing for the game. We regret the error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
