Referring to this earlier post below, Jayden Daniels, a rookie, has a chance to get to the Super Bowl and it appears his team’s embrace of VR plays a role. Just something worth noting.
A-ha… is it this @_Barry ? Virtual Reality!
Yes, so this professional football player, a newbie (rookie) is playing better than most seasoned professionals and perhaps because he’s using virtual reality (VR) to train his brain to believe he has experienced all of the game situations before—and knows what to do! No one else is doing this yet professionally, at this level, at least it’s not publicized, so interesting to watch to see how far he goes and if this will make an impact on professional sports.

PS This player lost his next game big time, but still had a great season. I look for more VR-assisted sports in the future.
Are you experiencing VR in some way?
I think you would LOVE it
Or perhaps it doesn’t make any sense for a LDreamer… why use a device when you can do it gadget free? hihihi
I have had a VR set since 2019. Yeah, I like it!
In Body of Mine, a new virtual reality experience, users can put on a headset and body tracking sensors, then look down and see a body — their arms, their chest, down to their feet — that does not match the gender they were assigned at birth.
Why it matters: The project, which was demoed for Axios last week in New York City, is an ambitious and already award-winning experience. It is designed to provoke introspection about gender and a transgender person’s experiences, and allow people to explore what it might be like to be in a different body.
Details: The interactive demo lets the user touch their virtual body as if it is their real one and hear audio clips from trans people about those parts of their bodies.
What they’re saying: A major goal, Kostopoulos says, is to give cis users the feeling of being in a body that they do not feel comfortable with and help them try to understand what gender dysphoria might feel like.
The big picture: VR and immersive video have long been used to allow people to experience what it’s like to be in an unfamiliar body or setting, often to help people empathize with marginalized groups.
Between the lines: Kostopoulos, who is gay, says he conceived Body of Mine after being outed. “I was thinking about how we can use VR to build safe spaces,” he says.
