France Télévisions is innovating by offering you a unique immersive experience: immerse yourself in the heart of sporting events thanks to 360° videos in 3D and spatialized sound, as well as a gaming section allowing you to become an Olympic athlete (only available on MetaQuest).

    With the FranceTV Sport VR application, be into the heart of the biggest sporting events covered by France Télévisions, in 360° and 3D! Explore places that are usually inaccessible and relive the highlights of competitions with France Télévisions presenters, as if you were there. But the immersion doesn't stop there: discover exclusive reports that decipher sporting disciplines, their techniques and their secrets, up close to the athletes. And if being a spectator isn't enough, try your hand at some of the disciplines by testing out our gameplays, including climbing and archery!

     

    Spectators will have exclusive virtual access to the France-England Crunch (The Six Nations Championship 2024) and to a rich and original programme: players' entrances, national anthems, spectacular action and behind-the-scenes with commentators Matthieu Lartot and Dimitri Yachvili. Switch from one sport to another at the touch of a button and enjoy privileged access to the most coveted areas of Roland-Garros: watch the victories of Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek on the Philippe-Chatrier court and discover what goes on behind the scenes on the France Télévisions set with Laurent Luyat and guests such as Patrick Mouratoglou.

     

    This application is the result of an internal collaboration between the Sports Department, the Technology and Information Systems Department and the unit "La Fabrique" (Real Time Graphics Unit), with the support of publishers Immersiv.io for Vision Pro and Jungle VR for MetaQuest.

    France Télévisions is one of the first content publishers for the Vision Pro headset (Apple), released on 12 July.

    There are plenty of other surprises, and much more to come. Don't miss out on this unique experience and start watching FranceTV Sport VR now!
