VR and real-time data platform for immersive sports broadcasts
Beyond Sports builds visualization and VR technology for live sports production, operating a Unity + C# stack deployed to Meta Quest and running on Azure. The engineering-heavy org is actively refactoring monolithic services into cloud-native architecture while shipping real-time event detection and positional tracking systems — a pattern indicating maturation from proof-of-concept toward production reliability at broadcast scale.
