Sense Arena was founded with the mission of giving aspiring athletes the ability to get game-like practice repetitions outside of their brief allotted practice times and in locations outside of the ice rink, arena, or tennis court. Virtual and augmented reality technologies allow for accurate and realistic simulation of sports environments, and allow athletes to train anytime and anywhere. Our world-class team of former athletes and current product and technology gurus work tirelessly to enable athletes to train skills virtually that help them become smarter, better players on the ice and on the court.

Sense Arena's VR technology helps ambitious, performance driven athletes, but even more, it creates never before available experiences to millions of fans of sport. We started with ice-hockey training, expanded to tennis training, and will continue creating unique experiences for a broad family of fans. Sport creates the emotions of winning and losing.
