What is HADO?
HADO is the world’s first augmented reality, physical Esport or Techno Sport. Originating in Japan, it is now being launched across North America.
It is a fast-paced, non-contact sport played by up to 6 players at a time (3 per team) inside an open physical game play area that we call the HADO Arena, which is about half the size of a tennis court. It’s most often played indoors but is portable and can pop-up just about anywhere.
It requires a game operator (teacher or coach), Internet access, a system license and a Game Play Resource Set. With a bit of open space, you’re ready to launch your HADO AR Physical Esports Program or School League.
The program allows for up to 24 students to rotate in and out of the Game Play Area at a time and may be utilized by an unlimited number of classes and students at your school or location for the duration of your program license term.
The HADO Academy program is currently structured as a club to introduce HADO and HADO fitness through a series of hourly session. Teachers or instructors can choose to use 1 lesson per day or per week; or combine, or split the sessions up depending on scheduling needs and the numbers of students they wish to work with. HADO Academy Level 1 is currently comprised of 6 sessions.
Rethink School Sports, PE, PBL, Esports and Afterschool Clubs!
While location-based, traditional sports bring participants together socially, encourage fitness, and are physically engaging, they often lead to exclusion and segregate participants by age, size, skill and gender. Contact sports can lead to injury and with the addiction of screen-time, youth sports engagement is in decline.
Conversely, while computer gaming and esports provides a more level playing field in terms of participation, it is still screen-based and can contribute to participant isolation, inactivity, and a disconnection from others – both physically and socially.
HADO Offers a Powerful Solution: Esports 2.0!
HADO crosses the boundary between sports and gaming and directly addresses both sets of problems. Leveraging the benefits of physical sport and the unique levelling advantages of esports with the appeal of gaming, HADO brings the young and the young at heart together in real-life physical engagement in a unique way.
HADO doesn’t segregate players by size, skill and strength. It’s appealing to educators and parents, it’s physically active, it employs immersive AR technology, it’s designed to build community, and it offers up a unique project-based-learning experience opportunity that will set your school or program apart.
