The Pro Football Hall of Fame has added a virtual reality tool for quarterbacks, QBSIM, at its museum in Canton, Ohio, in advance of the Class of 2018 induction ceremonies on Aug. 4.
QBSIM is the brainchild of former Denver Broncos general manager Ted Sundquist. His company, Sports VTS (Virtual Training Systems), built the system to run wirelessly on an Oculus headset with the use of a tracker-laden football. The simulator uses 10 years of NFL data and artificial intelligence to build the VR training scenarios.
The Canton Repository noted that this was the first QBSIM installation outside of Sports VTS’ Colorado Springs headquarters. Sports VTS counts former NFL quarterbacks Jake Plummer and Jeff Garcia as advisors along with several scientific and technical consultants.
