Andres Iniesta and Serge Ibaka endorse new technology
which gives fans a “First Vision”.

Since Serge Ibaka (NBA Oklahoma City Thunder) and Andres Iniesta (Barcelona FC) became partner investors in Spanish company FirstV1sion, 300 fans have followed suit by investing in the company through an e​quity crowd funding campaign on BnKToTheFuture.com​.

As a result, basketball fans who attended last week’s game between Zalgiris Kaunas and Real Madrid were able to watch the game from a player’s point of view for the very first time – thanks to a revolutionary piece of body kit. The basketball players were given the opportunity to wear a broadcasting smart-vest (developed by Spanish company FirstV1sion) with in built cameras installed to give the audience an immersive experience. Zalgiris Kaunas were happy to endorse this innovation and decided to be the first international team to test the kit out. The unique view of the match – a 99-83 victory for Real Madrid in Euroleague’s second group stage – became a talking point for many of the fans and players. Spanish company FirstV1sion is planning to bring innovative change to basketball as technology like this has never been used on a basketball court before. “It would be very good for fans or even basketball players to see what’s happening inside the game,” said E​dwin Jackson of F​C Barcelona Basquet of the Liga ACB.

Founders of FirstV1sion, Jose Ildefonso and Roger Antunez, firmly believe that what they have developed could immerse basketball and football fans deeper into the game just as the view in the cockpit of a F1 driver brings a whole new dimension to watching motor sports.

Over 300 investors and sports fans have invested so far in the Spanish company FirstV1sion through the e​quity crowd funding platform​ BankToTheFuture.com.
