It also allows for in-game stats or fantasy statistics to pop right up on your wall beside the footage and can even produce holograms that bring players right into the living room, where you can measure yourself up to see their size.

Brian Rolapp, the Executive VP of National Football League, said on Tuesday that when people wore the headsets, they were self-contained in its environment, while at a news conference for Super Bowl 50.

While there’s no solid launch date for the device, the Development Edition ships in Q1 of this year.

Currently, football fans at home can get a better understanding of what’s happening on the field with the NFL app for Xbox One.

As of the moment, Microsoft is still working on a HoloLens prototype. Moreover, with the pace of the technology, combined with the availability of miniaturized and rugged components, the HoloLens can offer the scenario depicted.

The panel was called “The Future of Football: How Technology Could Shape the Next 50 Years of the Game”. Though there is still some time before consumers will be able to wear them, the company has imagined an interesting scenario where people would watch NFL Football in an entirely different way.

The holographic view would also give fans a chance to walk around the “field” and view a play from any angle, zooming in and out using familiar pinch-to-zoom gestures.

In a move unlikely to clarify that situation, Microsoft is rising the wave of hype that traditionally surrounds Super Bowl weekend in the United States with a video that shares its ideas on how the AR visor could be used to bring elements of the event into your living room. By moving the screen off of a physical device and placing digital objects amid the physical objects that actually surround the wearer, HoloLens opens all kinds of doors.
