“We are thrilled to launch the BC Lions EXP app and offer Lions fans a new way to engage with their favourite team – to get on the field or be in the locker room right alongside the players for huddles, pep talks and touchdowns”, said Ian Sim, Co-Founder and CEO of Radical I/O. “We love building apps that bring new ways to increase connectedness in our communities. In this case, we’re excited that we get to help the connection grow between the team and their fans. The VR/360 videos in the BC Lions EXP app brings fans right into the action and we can’t wait to see fans enjoying it!”
