Patents Enable Real-World, Location-Based Fantasy Sports Using Augmented Reality
Frisco, TX — SeekAR (download the app now! www.seekar.io/invite), an augmented reality engagement platform redefining how fans interact with digital content in the real world, today announced it has acquired landmark AR Sports patents covering systems and methods for assembling fantasy sports teams using augmented reality and real-world geolocation.
The patents protect technology that allows fans to discover, capture, and assemble fantasy sports players through immersive AR experiences tied to physical locations, transforming fantasy sports from a screen-based activity into a real-world adventure.
By combining geolocation, proximity alerts, and digital collectibles, SeekAR enables fans to physically explore their surroundings to build fantasy teams, unlock rewards, and engage with live sports moments in entirely new ways.
“Fantasy sports hasn’t evolved much since it became popular back in the early 2000s. With SeekAR, we are bringing fantasy sports into the real world with advanced technology that really enhances the user experience and engages players,” said Rama Raju of SeekAR. “With the AR Sports patents we’ve acquired, entire cities can become interactive fantasy arenas and stadiums where fans move, explore, and compete in ways that were never before possible. This is the foundation for a new era of immersive sports entertainment utilizing collectibles marketing.”
The patents were acquired from AR Sports, an early innovator in augmented reality fantasy sports systems.
“We always believed AR could take fantasy sports into the real world, not just as a gimmick, but as a scalable platform,” said Brandon Witte, Founder of AR Sports. “SeekAR is the first company we’ve seen truly execute that vision. They’re not just building another app, they’re creating a new layer of interactive sports infrastructure.”
What the Patents Cover
The newly acquired patents protect core capabilities that power SeekAR’s platform, including:
- Augmented reality–based fantasy player discovery and capture
- Location-based proximity alerts triggered by real-world movement
- Digital player tokens and collectibles with fantasy game utility
- Geofenced drafting and reward zones tied to stadiums, arenas, and cities
This framework allows sports leagues, teams, brands, and event organizers to create city-wide fantasy experiences, AR-powered scavenger hunts, and sponsored digital player drops tied to live sporting events.
