I think for people who are analyzing the game: Coaches, players, opponents, dedicated fans, historians, the tabletop view will be priceless. I also suspect that the tabletop view will become a tool in the editing room.
For casual sports fans, a much more immersive experience will probably be better.
- brudgers 2y agoOddly for me, radio has been the most immersive media for live sports. Maybe because it is forced to prioritize audio…humans dance to sound not pictures. Not to say I seek out radio or that 3d doesn’t seem cool. Only that the effects of sound penetrate me in a way that visual stimulus doesn’t.
- j_bum 2y agoI have aphantasia… so audio sports broadcasts are awful for me. Radio sports sound like a long string of facts that I need to remember but can get overwhelmed with. I’m jealous that radio is immersive for you!
