"VR Sports" is a game that combines virtual reality technology with popular sports such as baseball, table tennis and badminton. When users wear VR devices, they can experience real-life services such as playing sports in real stadiums. 

The VR Sports baseball game, which will be introduced at MWC 2019, is a content that is developed to enjoy anytime, anywhere with the GiGA Live TV. 

Also, it provides multiplayer function so that many people can connect to the wireless network at the same time and enjoy baseball games together. 

KT is planning to demonstrate multi-player baseball games that pitchers and batters enjoy together at KT's exhibition hall that is set up at MWC 2019. Visitors can also experience the VR Sports.

KT expects wireless multi-player VR game market to grow greatly once 5G network is commercialized. Starting with the VR Sports, it is planning to expand VR game contents of the GiGA Live TV.
