The Australian Open (AO), one of the world's most prestigious tennis championships, has teamed with Decentraland, a premier virtual reality platform, to bring this year's event to the metaverse.
Supporters will be able to receive unrestricted access and experience the Australian Open from anywhere in the world thanks to the program.
The best characteristics of Melbourne Park, the official stadium of the Australian Open Grand Slam tennis competition, will be replicated in AO Decentraland, according to the tournament organizers.
Fans can travel throughout the city in the virtual world to get to the Beach House and the Gram Slam Oval, where live and historic matches will be broadcast on screens.
Fans can expect a variety of advantages and features throughout this time, including player appearances by tennis superstars like Mark Philippoussis and Todd Woodbridge, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of live matches from over 300 cameras positioned throughout the home stadium.
In between games, spectators may expect a reverse feed from the AO Decentraland fed on AO screens and courtside LEDs, community meetups, and gamification to obtain various NFTs and VR tennis games, among other things.
In other news, the Australian Open revealed that the 6,776 AO Art Ball NFTs it minted for viewers were sold out just minutes after the public sale went live, at a pricing of 0.067 ethereum (ETH) each.
