SLIVER.tv is officially going deep into esports, announcing the launch of its VR Live Cast and Live Replay platform for tournament and league operators to live stream titles such as CS:GO, League of Legends and Dota2 in full 360 virtual reality. VR Live Cast leverages its patented “Virtual Camera Array” technology to transport viewers into top eSports games, real-time rendering the 3D game world in a fully immersive 360 VR video experience. The turnkey VR Live Cast solution includes: on-site production services; real-time 360 capture and Live Replay rendering GPU technology; VR streaming and content delivery platform; end user eSports viewer apps; and post-event tournament highlights and videos on-demand. The company served up a beta test at ESL ONE NY and IEM Oakland, which drew over 130,000 unique viewers and drove 40% greater engagement and 13x more video content consumed over the NY event.

“We’re truly excited about our VR Live Replay platform as it delivers a new and dynamic perspective on eSports spectating beyond today’s current static streaming experience,” said Mitch Liu, Co-founder and CEO of SLIVER.tv. “By leveraging our virtual camera array technology, we’re able to generate both immersive 360 and regular video highlights, replays and special effects from angles that’s never been seen before. We hope to deliver an out of this world experience to eSports fans worldwide.”
