This is something I've always wanted, to be able to stand on a sports field and watch the game in real time. That would be an absolute killer app for VR/AR/WhateverR. And being able to walk around the field and stand wherever I want with the players in 3D, not some ugly 360 degree 2D video feed.

There's a company called Beyond Sports which is working on this sort of technology: https://www.beyondsports.nl/products/vr-broadcasting https://www.beyondsports.nl/products/vr-broadcasting I think the future of all sports broadcasting will be a kind of hybrid video + realtime rendering thing which will all for virtual cameras and other sorts of data overlays, controlled by the broadcaster and by the viewers. Our current technique of just aiming a few cameras at the action will seem primitive and incomplete. Like how listening to radio broadcasts of old baseball games feels to us today.
