WIN Reality is a VR training system designed for baseball and softball players, developed with input from former major league players. The platform is accessible on the Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest Pro headsets.
The training system allows players to face over 600 pitchers, with AI-powered swing analysis and professional coaching, enabling players to receive detailed feedback on every swing. The feedback covers aspects like swing decision and timing, highlighting areas for improvement.
Players can choose from three equipment options for their training: a Short Bat for full swings indoors, a Bat Attachment to use their own bat in VR, or the standard controllers that come with the headset. The Short Bat or Bat Attachment is provided free with a yearly membership. The company claims that the use of WIN Reality offers a 23% increase in the chance of winning games, with a 7x increase in the speed of player development.
In addition to solo training, WIN Reality offers a mobile app for interactive practice. This feature allows players to throw pitches through the app to a connected hitter in VR, focusing on specific pitches or sequences. The system includes live multiplayer competitions, hosted by professional hitting coaches, where players can compete and train with others at their level.
WIN Reality offers two subscription plans, Standard (USD 29 per month) and Pro (USD 39 per month), providing unlimited access to game-speed pitches, swing analysis, and tailored training.
