Governing and Developing HADO Worldwide
The International HADO Federation is the international governing body dedicated to regulating, developing, and promoting HADO worldwide.
The Sport
What is HADO?
HADO is a physical augmented-reality sport that combines real-world movement, digital technology, and team strategy.
Players wear head-mounted displays and arm sensors that allow them to launch virtual energy balls and deploy shields on a real-world court. Success depends on movement, accuracy, communication, and tactical teamwork.
Augmented Reality
Digital energy balls and shields appear through head-mounted displays while players move in a real physical space.
Physical Competition
Players run, dodge, aim, and react throughout each match, combining athletic movement with technology.
Team Strategy
Teams coordinate attacks and defence, adapting their tactics throughout the match.
For information about HADO experiences and commercial operations, visit the official HADO website. The official HADO commercial website is operated separately from the International HADO Federation (IHF); they are not the same legal entity.
