That's definitely impressive tech, and I'm sure the experience inside a headset is pretty incredible. What I'm saying is that it is not a good match for live sport.

When you watch sports they have multiple cameras all over the place. Fixed cameras with long lenses, cameras that zip over the pitch, cameras on blimps, slow mo cameras and so on.

These cameras are so much better for enjoying sport that they put giant screens in the stadium so you can see what happened after a goal is scored.

That experience is never going to work in a VR system (beyond VR as a way to have a big screen available) because if you kept shifting the position and focus you'll make everyone very motion sick.

Why assume the viewer doesn't have a choice of viewpoint locations they can decide to switch between?
