PIONEERING A NEW ERA
OF IMMERSIVE FAN ENGAGEMENT
FOR ENDURANCE SPORTS
VISION
The world’s most successful sports have all embraced innovative, interactive and immersive broadcast technologies to fuel participation, fan-engagement and revenue.
NOW is the time for endurance sport to do the same: to fill the endurance-innovation gap and fan the flames of growth.

PRODUCT
A real time, digital twin, gamified endurance sport broadcast platform.
Our product recreates the physical event in an interactive virtual environment, enabling fans to follow, explore and interact with the race in their own way, on their own devices, alongside or independent of the live event and TV coverage.
Hovva can be used by all stakeholders in the endurance sports ecosystem who are looking for an innovative solution for the spectators, fans and athletes.
IMMERSION
A premium 3D virtual world, rich in dynamic information and entertainment, that enhances the user experience with real-time data, interactive storytelling and immersive visual effects. This environment enables users to explore, engage and connect deeply with events, transforming passive observation into an active, multi-sensory journey through the digital landscape.


CHOICE
The constant opportunity to choose how you want to experience the race story, offering personalized views, personal tracking options and tailored notifications. With flexible access to statistics, highlights and replays, users shape their own immersive journey, deciding when, where and how they engage with every thrilling moment of the event.
INTERACTION
Unique interactive features guarantee an active experience, allowing fans to cheer, share their reactions and connect with others in real time. Interactive features such as polls, live chats and challenges encourage deeper engagement, and allow fans to be fully immersed in the race action.

SHARING
The opportunity to share your race-day experience, whether you're a spectator, fan or athlete, thanks to social media integration, personalized content on race highlights and regular, instant updates. Fans and athletes can celebrate achievements, showcase moments and amplify excitement, creating a shared narrative that extends the race experience beyond the event itself, into a global community.
