HD in 3-D

The NBA is using its All-Star Game festivities in Las Vegas Feb. 17-18 to showcase new 3-D HDTV viewing from Pace Technologies, a company that manufacturers HD cameras. It marks the first time the new technology will be used at a live event. According to Multichannel News, images from two 3-D HD cameras are combined to create a lifelike 3-D viewing experience through the use of relatively stylish 3-D glasses. The idea is to bring the technology to consumers' homes in the "near future"; the NBA will also deploy the technology during some playoff games later this spring.
