The game will be presented in computer-generated graphics which show the stadium, players and fans. The real game will be shown on the floating Jumbotron as seen here.
The computer-generated players will copy the actions/movements of the real players in the live game.
What's the point of watching a representation of the game when you can watch the real game?
The virtual game allows you to watch the game angles that you choose, some of them previously impossible. That's very cool (to me).
Also, you can interact with other fans in some capacity.
There will be (virtual) scavenger hunts in the stadium.
"Syncing with Gameday 3D for this first test, fans from anywhere in the world logged into the virtual ballpark can watch a three-dimensional representation of the game and interact with each other as it’s being played. In addition to watching the game up close from previously impossible angles, fans can talk with each other using spatial audio, explore the virtual ballpark to play trivia games and participate in a scavenger hunt. Fans can also watch the traditional broadcast on the digital videoboards of the virtual ballpark. This experience is available on any internet-connected personal device including computers, tablets and smartphones."
"Gameday 3D transports fans into a fully immersive three-dimensional baseball environment, offering a unique opportunity to experience the action live, from any angle in the ballpark. MLB launched Gameday 3D earlier this season to provide fans with an alternate viewing experience of select games online. The first-of-its-kind immersive animation leverages the industry’s most advanced tracking data and the latest computer vision technology. By utilizing the same Sony Hawk-Eye cameras in each Major League ballpark that provide Statcast data, Gameday 3D incorporates the position and orientation of each player and then generates a 3D re-creation of the game in real-time. Fans will be able to access the virtual ballpark directly on MLB.com/virtual-ballpark from their device of choice."
