This process will take about five minutes, and the resulting 3D model can be seen on NBA games. Consequently, users would insert these avatars into a game, substituting a real player with their new avatar. Everyone could now have a chance to experience the game from a whole new perspective.<\/p>\n<p>The NBA\u2019s new technology was unveiled at the 2023 NBA All-Star Tech Summit, by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Silver also spoke about the future of the NBA\u2019s streaming experience. The goal, according to Silver, is to create a more immersive and interactive experience for fans, and the new scanning technology is just one step towards achieving that goal.<\/p>\n<p>The NBA\u2019s new scanning technology also shows the growing trend towards metaverse experiences. The <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/metaverse-meaning-what-the-metaverse-is-and-why-you-should-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">metaverse<\/a> is a virtual world where users can interact with each other and with digital objects. It\u2019s been described as the next evolution of the internet, and companies like Facebook and Roblox are investing heavily in metaverse technology.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_NBA_plans_to_upgrade_fan_experience\">The NBA plans to upgrade fan experience<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NBA fans are excited about the new technology and are eager to see how it will impact the viewers\u2019 experience. Some fans are already imagining the possibilities, such as using their avatar to participate in virtual pregame events or to sit courtside in a virtual reality version of an NBA game. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Rv0qBbJq4qQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBA metaverse demonstration<\/a>, released on the NBA\u2019s social media channels, only makes us dream about what we can see next.<\/p>\n<p>But the NBA\u2019s new technology may create a new and elevated fan experience. It also has the potential to open up new revenue streams for the league. In the future, we could see people purchasing digital clothing and accessories for their avatars. Consequently, bringing the interest from new partnerships and sponsorships with brands.<\/p>\n<p>The NBA\u2019s move into the metaverse is a smart one. The league has always been at the forefront of technology, from the introduction of the shot clock in the 1950s to the use of instant replay in the 1980s. By embracing the metaverse, the NBA is once again showing that it is a forward-thinking organization.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_97058\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97058\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-97058 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-scaled.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-300x190.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-768x486.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-89x56.jpg.webp 89w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-150x95.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-450x285.jpg.webp 450w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20759'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20759'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"NBA commissioner Adam Silver presents the new scanning technology to enter the NBA metaverse.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"759\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-89x56.jpg 89w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-450x285.jpg 450w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-scaled.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-97058 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-scaled.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-300x190.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-768x486.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-89x56.jpg.webp 89w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-150x95.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-450x285.jpg.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"NBA commissioner Adam Silver presents the new scanning technology to enter the NBA metaverse.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-89x56.jpg 89w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Scan-450x285.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-97058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, scanning Ahmad Rashad to create his 3D avatar. <br \/>Image Credit: NBA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In conclusion, the NBA\u2019s new scanning technology excites NBA fans, seen a smart move for the league.
