The release of ARKit has developers large and small experimenting with different ways to incorporate a dash of augmented reality into their mobile apps.

Why it matters: Sports leagues are all about capturing a chunk of people's entertainment time and budget. If people are going to be spending time in AR or VR, it's important for the leagues to find the right opportunities to interact.
