We are proposing a “Manhattan Project” to the International Olympic Committee [IOC], to address what we believe will be a persistent void in mass event sports for some time to come. We call this effort The Lausanne Project.

We believe that the 2021 Olympic Games are at grave risk of cancellation, even if an effective, affordable, widely distributable vaccine is available by the “Warp Speed” of 1Q21.

We propose that the IOC endorse ONE virtual reality, athletic game for global distribution and competition, to engage the youth of the world in non-violent, physical competition AT HOME.

We call it HomeGame.

We have selected Racket:Nx, a game developed by Tel Aviv-based One Hamsa, as the core of a considerable and extended competition platform that we have informally dubbed and would like to brand “Oracle Cloud Sport.”

We chose Racket:Nx in a rigorous selection process, in which we have not had, do not have, nor will have any financial interest whatsoever.

We believe that this project will establish the first competitive beachhead in the future of global sport… not “eSport,” but sport.

The HomeGame, born in this crisis, would mark the beginning of a global expansion that will transform the very idea of sport and what it can do in and for society. And it can all happen inside the Virtual Cloud.
