Next Galaxy Partners with Legendary Syracuse Basketball Coach Jim Boeheim for Virtual Reality Experience
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Galaxy Corp. (OTCBB: NXGA), a leading developer of innovative content solutions and fully immersive Consumer Virtual Reality technology, is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into agreement with legendary college basketball coach Jim Boeheim to produce a Virtual Reality (VR) experience. Per the agreement, Coach Boeheim is opening the doors to his personal basketball court exclusively to Next Galaxy to participate in a unique, fully-immersive experience designed to be viewed through the Oculus Rift or other head mounted VR devices. The audio for the experience will be created using omnidirectional sound customized for listening through Ceekars(TM), Next Galaxy's first-in-class VR audio headset.
"I believe that the development of Next Galaxy's Virtual Reality technology will soon change the way sports fans enjoy the game. With cutting-edge technologies like the Oculus Rift complemented by the Ceekars(TM) VR audio, people will no longer 'watch' their favorite teams, they will 'experience' the game as if they were actually at the event," commented Jim Boeheim. "I eagerly look forward to creating the VR experience, and thrilled to be featured in a production utilizing this rapidly emerging technology."
"We are delighted that The Barrett Edge could facilitate this milestone agreement with Coach Boeheim, a world class sports icon and philanthropist," said Barrett D. Ehrlich, Founder and Managing Director of The Barrett Edge, and strategic consultant to the company. "Sports is a cornerstone in Next Galaxy's VR content hub - Ceek, and we couldn't ask for much more than Coach Boeheim."
Next Galaxy is in discussions with other high profile personalities and teams for additional sports experiences. The Coach Boeheim experience kicks off the exciting sports lineup in the plans for CEEK.
Jim Boeheim has been the head coach of Syracuse University's men's basketball team since 1976. During that time, Coach Boeheim has amassed 948 wins, placing him second all-time on the wins list of men's NCAA Division I coaches. Under his leadership, Syracuse has earned nine Big East regular season championships, five Big East Tournament championships, 28 NCAA Tournament appearances and one NCAA National Championship. Coach Boeheim also served as an assistant coach for the U.S. men's basketball team at the 1990 FIBA World Championship, the 2006 FIBA World Championship, the 2008 Summer Olympics, the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Summer Olympics, where he has won an aggregate of two bronze medals and three gold medals. Coach Boeheim was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in September 2005.
