New Zealanders might be able to go to the movies, to pubs and clubs to watch the Rugby World Cup games live in 3D. The New Zealand Herald's John Drinnan reports.
"The IRB is talking to its members about the feasibility of having the event filmed in 3D. The IRB will have to decide by the end of this year at the latest, said Rugby World Cup Ltd general manager Ross Young.
"But there are a lot of issues including whether there is enough interest overseas from broadcasters and sponsorship technology companies promoting the 3D TV sets.
"TV networks say with such a tiny number of 3D TV sets in New Zealand it would not be viable for them to buy 3D rights. But if the IRB does opt to film the World Cup in 3D there may be options for rugby fans beyond their home TV sets."
