XPAND Codes are being used at the venues of the Japanese Table Tennis League, which started today.
All 12 courts are equipped with a 3-meter XPAND Code, which links to the score-by-score bulletin for each court’s matches.
This project was made possible by the cooperation of the table tennis manufacturer “Nittaku“.
Due to COVID-19, spectators are not permitted, meaning only players and team officials will be able to experience the XPAND Codes in person. However, as all matches will be broadcast live on the dedicated website, viewers can scan the XPAND Codes on their screens to jump to the bulletin page on the league’s official website.
For now, we have started with a simple link to the league’s official website, but we hope to find ways to make the experience even more engaging in the future.
This is what the venue looks like.
Here is a video of the XPAND Code being scanned at the venue.
