Future of Sports

HADO is the first-ever active esport that uses AR tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables. The digital experience is enabled by an AR device that players wear on their heads and a motion sensor the size of a smartphone worn on the wrist. Players are able to move unrestricted in the real environment while interacting with the digital items they can see through the AR headset. 

Attributes of HADO

HADO is a physical game that requires great footwork, lightning-fast speed and fantastic agility. Players not only compete against their opponents but also an 80-second clock ticking away to the final buzzer. It balances physical skill and strategy regardless of whether a player is a natural athlete or born tactician. Players who succeed at the game will be in constant motion while diving, bending, and squatting to evade the energy balls hurled by the other team. Young or old, able or physically challenged can also get active or simply have fun!
