ImagineAR taps former NFL QB Gus Frerotte as augmented reality advisor for pro sports
ImagineAR Inc (CSE:IP) (OTCQB:IPNFF) has added some major star power to its team, bringing in NFL Pro Bowl quarterback Gus Frerotte as an advisor for augmented reality fan engagement in professional sports.
Frerotte played for 7 teams over his 15-year NFL career, headlined by a Pro Bowl appearance in 1996 while playing for Washington. He threw a 99-yard touchdown pass which tied an NFL record for longest play from scrimmage, and he retired in 2008 from the Minnesota Vikings.
The company said it believes Frerotte’s industry knowledge and connections will help accelerate its augmented reality work for professional sports organizations. ImagineAR has worked with the Basketball Hall of Fame, the Erie Seahawks baseball team and others.

“Mr. Frerotte brings a tremendous track record of success in the NFL for over a decade and a significant professional network,” ImagineAR CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen said in a statement. “With today’s paradigm shift in sports fan engagement due to Covid-19, Augmented Reality is a perfect activation technology for both in-stadium and live streaming at home.”
Following his playing career, Frerotte went on to coach at John Burroughs School from 2010-2013, where he finished with a record of 42-3. He is currently working with RC21X, which has developed a platform for measuring and assessing human performance, at the Energy Innovation Center in Pittsburgh.
That’s how the quarterback found his latest teammate.
“After being introduced to ImagineAR while working with the Energy Innovation Center in Pittsburgh, I wanted to work directly with the company to bring a leading-edge augmented reality platform to the sports marketplace and related businesses to deliver fan engagement and activation,” Frerotte said.
“ImagineAR has one of the most amazing mobile technologies I have seen to date and is even more important given the Covid-19 environment. I am excited to be part of the ImagineAR team and extremely optimistic for our future success together.”
