Sony has won the gig to shoot and show this year’s Wimbleton Tennis matches in 3D, with the finals to be shown in Theaters in glorious HD.
“High Definition 3D is… as close to the atmosphere and excitement of Centre Court as actually being there,” the head of Sony Europe, Fujio Nishida, enthused.
If you’re a tennis fan it sounds like a nice deal, similar to last year’s World Cup games. Not sure how well Tennis will stand up to 3D, as the camera is typically a wide shot standard. What will be the focus plane? The net? The near player? the far player? Guess we’ll find out.
