First Live 3D Sports Broadcast – PGA TOUR MASTERS
The past weekend marked history in 3D broadcasting. The movie theaters have been very busy with new 3D movies such as Avatar but 3D technology at home is still trying to plant its roots into the North American consumer market. Comcast announced couple weeks back that it will be the first network to provide LIVE 3D Broadcasting of a sporting event. The PGA Tour set the record to be the first sporting event to be broadcast live in 3 dimensions( Tiger Woods also came back from his fallout last year). The 3D broadcast was available for existing customers at no extra fee, the only thing required was to have 3D capable TV and those fancy 3D glasses. Sporting events have a huge future in 3D as the TV broadcasting market has been effected heavily by the recent influx of alternative media such as the internet. The 3D broadcast was also available online for those with 3D enabled computer screens.
