NBA, MLB and PGA roll out apps for Apple Vision Pro

The NBA, MLB and PGA Tour have each introduced apps for the product that seek to take advantage of the Apple Vision Pro.

The launch of Apple’s much-anticipated Vision Pro headset has been met with a tough question: For all its fancy augmented reality technology, what’s it good for?

Professional sports leagues might have an answer.

The NBA, MLB and the PGA Tour have each introduced apps for the product that seek to take advantage of the product’s “infinite canvas” — the term Apple has put forward to describe the three-dimensional floating display users can control with their eyes, hands or speech.

For now, most of the new sports apps appear to mirror the experience of watching games on TV and using the leagues’ existing apps, but efforts are underway to create fully immersive experiences that can replicate what it’s like to be at an event.

The PGA Tour’s app is working to bring all 18 holes of the coming Players Championship tournament to users so they can virtually sit in the tee boxes or on the greens to watch players and track their shots.
