Verizon's 5G provides an immersive experience to Sunday's Oscars

The company said viewers will feel as if they were actually at the event through a portal, which will take them to the middle of the red carpet, the press room and backstage. Most people are unlikely to experience the Hollywood glitz, glamor, ebullient wins and hidden disappointments of the annual Oscars ceremonies and its requisite rituals in person, in the audience and certainly not backstage. But for Sunday's 93rd Academy Awards, Verizon will use 5G-powered portals to provide viewers "the most exclusive backstage access in Oscar history," the company announced.
