Sony's 3D FIFA World Cup -- Win, Draw, or Loss
FIFA World Cup fans have more than matches to anticipate for in June. Thanks to Sony's professional HD cameras, 25 matches will be shown in 3D.
How successful will this be? Here's the challenge. To properly view in 3D you have to have a 3D tv set, the country's broadcasters with World Cup rights having 3D capability, and special glasses. British broadcasters, for example, are not synonymous with rights. For London most of the audience will be in cinemas. Most people worldwide do not have 3d tv sets. And, glasses without their cohort are not enough.
This is supposed to be Sony's marketing edge to sell its 3D technology. Keeping mind that the industry is still in its infancy, for those that are lucky enough to see the game in 3D, will Sony's technology be able to capture fast moving action without nausea inducing blurry images and move us into the next generation of tv?
We'll soon find out. For some game lovers it could be a match made in heaven.
