Abstract

While watching live sports broadcasts we do not feel so emotionally connected with the performers and the in-venue fans as if we were watching it live, where the event takes place. Moreover, both remote and in-venue fans do not share a social connection, resulting in defragmented social experiences. This work intends to establish a new paradigm that explores the use of mobile devices to enhance remote fans? interaction with a live event. This new paradigm will provide them with an emotional and social experience by bringing the stadium atmosphere, its immersion, and emotional levels, to remote supporters. As a result, remote fans will be more engaged in the broadcasted sports, and both, remote and in-venue, fans will all feel part of the same community.
