T-Mobile is implementing a series of technological innovations powered by its 5G network for the Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Week in Arlington, Texas beginning on July 16.
For the first time at All-Star Week, fans will be able to enter Globe Life Field with facial authentication technology.
Improvements to the event’s accessibility have also been made with the use of OneCourt which captures and transfers player and ball tracking data before translating it into a haptic language.
This allows visually impaired fans to feel vibrations that mirror the game as it happens.
For the second year in a row, the MLB will test the automated ball-strike challenge system using 5G. In addition, spectators will be able to tune into a T-Mobile 5G batting practice show to see new angles of players warming up.
