\u201cCapturing Everest,\u201d<\/a> the four-part series is available through the Life VR app or online through a browser.<\/p>\n\u201cWe partnered with a great production company to literally climb from base to the top of Mt. Everest and be able to show you that in virtual reality,\u201d Orefice explains. \u201cSame DNA, same storytelling on whatever that next platform is. In this case, it happens to be VR.<\/p>\n
Although fans will find plenty on traditional sports on the upcoming SI OTT network, it\u2019s the commitment to the unknown that excites Orefice.<\/p>\n
\u201cSports Illustrated<\/em> brings you to places that you want to go but don\u2019t have the access yourself,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m never going to the top of Mt. Everest, but, when you watch that and you see them climb over this bridge with the 3,000-ft, drop, you feel like you\u2019re there. Whether it\u2019s walking out of the tunnel at Notre Dame or being inside the ring with Mike Tyson as he\u2019s explaining the next chapter of his life, we bring you to those places. We have to do the same thing with this new network.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The biggest name in sports journalism will soon launch an OTT video service.
