Blazing the trail

The National Basketball Association’s (NBA’s) Portland Trail Blazers has teamed up with Ticketmaster and OneCourt to provide OneCourt’s haptic display at each home game at Moda Center  for Blind or Low Vision fans. The Trail Blazers claimed it was the first professional sports team to implement this technology, which enables fans who are Blind or Low Vision to experience live basketball action in real-time.

A fully immersive experience 

Bonnaroo 2025, a music and arts festival in Manchester, Tennessee, is set to debut ‘The Infinity Stage’ for the first time in North America. ‘The Infinity Stage’ is a brand-new, one-of-a-kind venue – presented in partnership with Polygon Live – that boasts spatial sound, synchronised lights, and a three-dome, open-air design. The result is an immersive, 360° live music experience. The festival is set to take place from June 12-15, and will feature headline performances from Luke Combs, Tyler, The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo and Hozier.
