acquired VOKE last month as part of Intel’s digitization of sports strategy.

The company is building out a portfolio of technologies including virtual reality, 360-degree replay and analytics technologies that will immerse fans in the action of their favorite sport.
“Through this deal with VOKE -- the newest members of our Intel family -- and the NFL, we’re transporting fans right into the heart of the action during the homestretch of the season,” said James Carwana, general manager of the Intel Sports Group. “This immersive content will offer customization and personalization like we’ve never experienced before, and I believe NFL fans are going to be absolutely captivated by what they see.”
“We are committed to building unprecedented user experiences and completely changing the way fans engage around live events,” VOKE co-founder Sankar Jayaram said. “The popularity and passion for the NFL is global and fans want to be a part of it. Through the power of our technology we are able to provide fans with the most personalized, immersive experiences from anywhere in the world.”
