We at InventHelp love this time of year not only for the holiday cheer, but also because football playoffs are just around the corner! I don’t know if there’s anything that could make us love our hometown Pittsburgh Steelers any more than we already do. Except, maybe, watching them in 3D.

Sound too futuristic? Think again. Testing is already underway for 3-D broadcasting. Invite-only test audiences in Los Angeles, New York and Boston have already seen the future of sports broadcasting – and it sounds pretty exciting.

3ality Digital – the company behind the “U2 3D” concert film – is overseeing production and transmission. Technicolor Digital Cinema is providing the satellite transponder time and digital downlink services.

James Cameron, director of the mega-epic Titanic, is helping these inventions along by renting out his cameras to Fox Sports. And if these innovations go well, you can leave your 3-D glasses at home. Many supporters of 3-D television believe that the awkward blue-and-red glasses audiences donned to view films in 3-D will become as passé as smoking in the theater.

InventHelp’s Invention  Girl can hardly wait to see my favorite team in black and gold fly across the field and into my living room (figuratively, of course). Plus, the broadcasts aren’t limited to just NFL games. If you’re a hockey buff, a boxing fan or a baseball nut, you too may have a 3-D sports experience to look forward to!

And if you’re not a sports fan, we at InventHelp think it’s never too late to become one!
