Sports Events In 3D

On March 24, 2010, NHL is going the next step in mixing sports with technology. The game between the NY Islanders and NY Rangers at Madison Square Gardens will be shown at the theater at Madison Square Gardens and on the MSG Network. This was the first live sporting event broadcast live in 3-D. I think this was awesome being that it was hockey being part of a "first". Usually when something is being introduced in the sporting world, it usually the NFL, MLB or NBA introducing it.

Now, that it is being broadcast in 3-D, there will be additional cameras to catch different angles which would definitely be necessary. While watching a hockey on a standard broadcast, the puck is always going left and right and away from the viewer. To catch an angle as a puck is coming at you in 3_D would be just awesome. Then you have fights and players being checked into the boards which will create an even more awesome experience.

Eventually, there will be soon be 3-D televisions on the market that will not require special glasses to wear to capture the experience in 3-D. As most of us know, Avatar, which was in theaters in 3-D was mainly why this movie was such a success along with the creation of Pandora and it's characters. 3-D is a step above the high-def we have today and I can only wonder what will be next in 5-10 years. Anyways, back to the sports aspect of this blog, I believe all sports will benefit from this and can't wait to see my first sporting event in 3-D myself. The thought of seeing DT tackling Tom Brady as it is coming through my tv and to see a foul ball fly through my tv screen also would create excitement. 3-D is definitely the newest and ultimate entertainment experience.
