Anyone excited by the latest Sky innovation coming to our pub screens on Friday?

Nope

Not interested mainly because the only places near me that show 3D games are full of pished up village idiots and chavs.

Besides if I wanted to see a game in 3D I would go watch it live

Totally Agree

Im looking to watching it a pub not far from me as just got 3D in it will be interesting to see what it's like.

No.

I'll be at the game, and I'll be at the Grand Final as well. I'll have to wait another year until I see 3D RL on TV.

I've been watching Rovers in 3D for about 20 years now, hardly a new innovation

Can't wait, the excitement of watching Wigan v Warrington in 3D. I doubt i will be able to sleep between now and Friday.

And we wonder why rugby league is a minority sport. Sky see fit to use the latest technology to help promote our sport and our "fans" simply sneer at it.

This. Would everyone rather we kept our sport behind the latest innovations? I fail to see how something that may encourage people who don't normally watch Rugby league give it a go be a bad thing. Yes it's better to go and watch the game live at the ground, but it is bound to make people more aware of our game.

Bunch of miserable gets. Its no wonder we get called backward, parochial, flatcappers.

Personally, I'm not overly bothered about 3D, but that's nothing to do with Rugby League. I'm not even bothered about watching films in it. But if our game can benefit from it, then I'm all for it.

That said, it would be fun to see everyone duck when the conversions are viewed from behind the posts.

Doesnt help when its on the same night as Rhinos vs Giants i guess.

Where can you find out where its been shown in 3D?

go here 3d.sky.com/pubfinder/ then type in your postcode

go here 3d.sky.com/pubfinder/ then type in your postcode

People might be sneering just simply because it isn't their team and not at the actual technology itself, just a thought.

I'm going, so get to see it in 3D anyway.

I'm actually really looking forward to it... intrigued as to what it'll be like

At a Shrek preview screening I attended last month Sky was the sponsor and they played a 3D 'showreel' of Sky progs - everything from movies to ballet to sport. They showed a bit of soccer and RU and it just looked [iweird [/i- like a moving version of the old 'Viewmaster' slide-show device that older fans will remember from their younger days. Happy they are putting RL into the latest tec but don't see that it will enhance the viewing experience.

Dont understand how it will work to be honest. What exactly will be 3D?

Everything. they film it with twin cameras so you get 2 slightly different views, like your eyes, and then the glasses separate what you see.

summert like that anyway.

Am I right in saying that not EVERY shot will be in 3D? I'm sure I heard some football fans saying that only certain angles from certain cameras are filmed in 3D?

=#8000FFYeah only the bits filmed with the 3D camera will be 3D but I guess that will be most/all of the game + some replays.

Just a thought, would this make the video ref job easier ?
