Recently, a game between the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders was broadcast live in 3-D to theaters in Los Angeles, New York and Boston. This is not the first time that the NFL has experimented with 3-D, but only recently has live streaming of 3-D footage become a reality. Real D, is responsible for powering the in theater 3-D application and has rolled out their system in 1,500 theaters around the world. While 3-D movies have been around for many years, live events such as rock concerts and circus performances have slowly been creeping into theaters. The demonstration, which is closed to the pubic, will also include television displays to highlight how the technology can be used in the home.
