Is virtual reality getting so widely used that it’s being seen in use at live sports events? Perhaps. More quickly than anyone could have predicted, the Apple Vision Pro has been taking the world by storm. At an NBA game, Apple’s latest mixed reality headgear has already been spotted courtside. One spectator wore a headset throughout tonight’s Boston Celtics vs. Memphis Grizzlies game, even though they were seated less than ten feet away from the action.

On Sunday, the Boston Celtics defeated the visiting Memphis Grizzlies 131-91 behind a strong lead from start to finish thanks to a game-high 34 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists from Jayson Tatum in just 31 minutes of play. Moreover, shortly after the Apple Vision Pro’s release, an NBA fan took it courtside and started using it on the basketball court.

Like this game, there are many stories where fans did some weird or unwanted things that got everyone’s attention. In recent times, a teen fan wore a LeBron James jersey showing his whole career. There are many different kinds, sizes, and intensities of NBA fans. Some are true fans of the game, but the majority of them are more reserved in their enjoyment. Just like today.

The headset is an astounding $3,499 in price. But the experience must be amazing if the headgear offers an experience so unique that users are already at ease donning it in public while watching a live sporting event.
