SPORTS METAVERSES

2022-2024

Virtual worlds, gaming.

2022-2024

Virtual worlds, gaming

Through 2022 to 2024 I lead the creation of a series of sports-focussed virtual worlds for the Platform Roblox and Meta's then-flagship Horizon Worlds platform.

For the Olympics and Paralympics Team USA's first metaverse experience we built a sports-fueled adventure world where players mingled with real Olympic athletes, competed for gold, and watched in-game broadcasts.

Additionally, we collaborated with The NBA for their 75th anniversary to launch their first virtual world experience, where fans could battle it out on the court against real NBA players, and watch NBA games in VR.

Collectively, these experiences brought hundreds of thousands of young people into the world of sports, and in contact with their idols.
