Muhammad Hadi – From Modern Sports XR Innovation to Guiding TSG into the Metaverse XR–TSG Expert Panel Spotlight | International Day of Traditional Sports and Games 2025 When it comes to creating high-performance, immersive XR sports experiences, few names stand out like Muhammad Hadi. As the founder of xRev Studio and the visionary mind behind BaseX and CricketX, Hadi has been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge solutions for modern sports — not traditional ones — but his journey holds invaluable lessons for the Traditional Sports and Games (TSG) community. Engineering Performance Through XR Hadi’s work focuses on some of the world’s most popular sports, bringing them into immersive environments where performance can be measured, improved, and perfected. His projects are meticulously designed, combining advanced motion tracking, real-time analytics, and precise feedback systems that empower athletes and coaches to achieve peak performance. The challenges of creating such highly detailed and accurate XR experiences are immense — and overcoming them requires deep technical expertise, innovation, and vision. Why TSG Needs Voices Like Hadi For the TSG community, Hadi’s approach provides a blueprint. While his current projects are dedicated to modern sports, the methodologies, problem-solving strategies, and technological frameworks he has developed can be adapted to bring culturally rooted, geo-referenced, language-driven traditional games into the Metaverse. Creating experiential TSG-based XR platforms will require the same meticulous planning and innovative thinking that Hadi applies to modern sports — from conceptual design to technical execution and measurable outcomes. His experience navigating challenges such as realism, accuracy, and scalability can guide TSG creators in building sustainable, engaging, and authentic immersive experiences. Part of the XR–TSG Expert Panel Talks On 14 August 2025, during the celebration of the International Day of Traditional Sports and Games, Muhammad Hadi will join the XR–TSG Expert Panel Talks. He will share his insights on:
Bringing large-scale sports into XR environments with precision and authenticity Balancing immersive storytelling with real-world performance enhancement Using XR to create training and coaching tools that go beyond entertainment Identifying the core challenges in Metaverse sports development — and how to overcome them
For TSG innovators, this is an unmissable opportunity to learn from someone who has successfully bridged the gap between sport, technology, and human performance. Be part of the conversation. Learn from the experts. Build the future of TSG in XR.
"When a sport disappears, it is like a language no longer spoken. When we revive a game, we revive a culture."
