Another media event will be taking place in New York dealing with virtual reality sports games. The information for the even follows below.

WHAT: Darrell Evans and Netamin will give ongoing demonstrations of Ultimate Baseball Online, a "baseball virtual reality experience" at an open house. UBO is the first massive, multi-player, real-time sports game. It lets people from around the world play the sport of baseball on a virtual field on their PC. Everyone sees the game from their player's perspective, and your teammates and opponents are all real people.

Darrell saw this project's potential early on: something that could allow people of all ages, nationalities and genders to experience the joys of the game, without the usual limitations that come with any team sport.

The latest version of Ultimate Baseball Online, along with press accounts, and screenshots of the game will be distributed to media attending this open house.

A Ballpark Lunch buffet will be served from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM.
