I find myself wondering how easy it would be to merge the video feeds from the different players, so viewers can see everyone as if it were a traditional match. If each arena has a camera in the same place, it shouldn't be that hard to isolate parts of the image which are different from a static image; but I'm not sure what would be the best method for determining which player is in front when they overlap. I guess you need some method of tracking the players' positions in any case, to work out who's touching the ball. Would the technology used for home VR be easily adaptable to a full size stadium? - [[User:Angel|Angel]] ([[User talk:Angel|talk]]) 10:50, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Angel: Yes, with Lighthouse 2.0, used in Valve Index and HTC Vive Pro etc, stadium-sized tracking is possible! -Sharkku
 
  
 
Another way to do it: Each player has their own ball. But only one of the balls is "live" at any given time. Maybe it lights up or something. If another ball contacts the live one, it changes places, allowing you to effectively "tackle" the player who's in possession. Would mean that ball physics are more realistic, while still maintaining the confusion. Maybe also give the players little shock collars to let them know if they collided with another player. (Is running through another player a foul in basketball?) - [[User:Angel|Angel]] ([[User talk:Angel|talk]]) 10:55, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
