Read previewThe CEO of the Enhanced Games — dubbed the "Olympics on steroids" by some — said that in addition to allowing performance-enhancing drugs, they are also open to athletes using tools like Apple's Vision Pro.
"Imagine a javelin thrower using Vision Pro," he said, referring to the recently launched mixed-reality Apple headset.
Earlier this week, retired Australian swimmer James Magnussen said he'd accepted an offer to compete at the Enhanced Games, making him the first athlete to do so.
D'Souza said that the use of AR, VR, and mixed-reality technology might not be approved in time for the first Enhanced Games.
Ultimately, the Enhanced Games are about "the future, technology, about progress," D'Souza said, contrasting it with the Olympic Games, which he described as being about Ancient Greece and the past.
