How awesome would it be if they could pull off 3D? A 3D view from the goalie would actually make me want to break out those 3D glasses I got with my TV that are still in the plastic wrapping.

This is a great first step however - getting into the market will open the doors for some really cool stuff - and hopefully give fans a better appreciation for the real speed of the game .

I'd never thought much about that because I've always found 3D to be kind of gimmicky, but POV 3D video in realtime sports broadcasts could really make for an unreal experience.

Totally agree - 3D is a fn gimmick. Hockey goalie view is the only scenario i can currently think of that would make me really want to use it. GoPRO I'm here for you if you want help in implementing :)

View of the quarterback in football comes to mind. Not on a regular basis, but on some plays it would be incredible. I've seen it before where the quarterback was sacked from behind. The camera panned up, you could see the lights and the night sky, then rapidly came back down past the lights, the stands, the sidelines, the players and finally into the ground and dark.

That would be awesome. They already have other electronics in their helmet for the in-helmet speaker - so why not add a few more ha
