Simply - Geniass !

Sports events have been one of the most successful crowd pullers in the history of this planet.

A soccer match between renowned rivals can attract over 50,000 people in a single stadium. Millions watch it at home.

The same is true to base ball and cricket. Tickets get sold out within a matter of hours and several millions unfortunates are forced to watch the match on TV !

What if there was a way to let everyone watch the same event LIVE in a stadium ?

Read on for how it can be done !

A friend of mine was unable to procure tickets for the most popular cricket match in the world. The India Vs Pakistan World Cup 07 cricket match. He came around cribbing and I thought perhaps someone could do something about it. I couldn’t get him a ticket, but I did write this article to give a concept of how it can be achieve in a few years from now.

The solution lies in holographic projectors and specialized cinematography.

A special set of cameras capture a live event in a stadium then a this video feed is transmitted to stadiums all across the world. The feed is picked up by giant holographic projectors which are then used to project the event live in stadiums across the world !

If the above is implemented, a lot of people have a lot to gain !

• The ticket collections will multiply by several hundred times(if not thousand).
• The advertising space will be multiplied.
• More people will be able to watch the event in stadiums.

Challenges

1. No one has made a giant holographic projector as yet.
2. Preventing direct sunlight from projection stadiums
3. 3d cameras have not yet been invented except a few succesful implementations with stills.

Solutions [stub]

Giant Holographic projectors

Holographic projectors are currently being used to host small products in showrooms etc.

What if it was possible to have the match is one stadium and then reproduce the match in several other stadiums to generate exact holographic presentation of the original in a hundred other stadiums.

Coming soon…

• Time slicing technique for holography.
