This research aimed to provide a model for improving the interactions of spectators of sports events using virtual and augmented reality technologies. The study population included technology experts, management experts, and sports specialists. Purposeful sampling and snowball sampling techniques were used to conduct 15 in-depth interviews, and data were analyzed using the Geo-analysis method. The analysis revealed 97 initial codes, 21 themes, and three dimensions of conditions, solutions, and consequences for improving spectators' experience. The conditions included hardware and software advances, popularity of games and entertainment programs, strong broadband networks, investment from federations and organizations, durability and battery limitations, and resistance from traditional spectators. To address these conditions, experts proposed developing and improving virtual and augmented reality hardware, encouraging spectators, using novel modeling and simulation techniques, producing quality content, and educating spectators.  The consequences of utilizing these technologies were increasing spectator engagement and interaction, improving the quality of experience, generating more revenue for organizers, attracting more spectators, enhancing satisfaction, and fostering a sense of presence among fans and athletes. The study demonstrates that purposeful implementation of virtual and augmented reality technologies can enhance the spectating experience, increasing enjoyment and satisfaction.

Background: Smart contract is defined as a self-executing contract that runs on the distributed ledger technology, called block chain and has attracted much attention as a promising application for improving efficiency, accountability and reliability in telecommunications and related sectors. But problems like scalability issues, recurrent resource inefficiencies, and threats posed by new quantum computing technologies hinder their broad usage and effectiveness. Solving these problems is crucially important to further development of blockchain systems and to provide for them ongoing stability in complex contexts. Objective: Towards this goal, the current study proposes a comprehensive blockchain framework that incorporates these computational intelligence techniques and quantum-safe cryptography in an effort to address scalability, security, and efficiency issues. This research aims at solving practical problems and identifying the potential applications for blockchain in telecommunication and other fields. Methods: An evidence-based approach including detailed literature reviews, qualitative expert interviews, and simulation studies was adopted. Experimental conditions involved latency, throughput, energy, and scalability factors in order to assess single-photon detection. Telecommunications providers engaged in pilot tests to determine the practical usability of the system. Results: The improvement in the aspects of the system that was proposed were high improvements that were achieved as follows: 75% improvement in scalability, 25% improvement in latency, and the preferred quantum-resistant cryptography. Substantial gain in energy efficiency was estimated to be 40%, while field implementations ensured versatility of the system in the areas that differ from a city or even desert. Conclusion: These findings provide support to the proposition that blockchain systems hold the key to revolutionizing telecommunications. With that, the solution of the critical limitations of this research makes it the basis for further development to maintain blockchain technology secure, scalable, and sustainable in the quantum period.
