Holographic TV dreams in Japan 2022 World Cup bid

TOKYO -- Forget 3D TV, Japan is promoting the idea of ultra-realistic holographic broadcasts and the ability to zoom a virtual camera in behind players on the pitch if it secures the 2022 World Cup. Japan proposes expanding the World Cup to all 208 FIFA member nations through fan-fest events that will feature live, holographic coverage of the games. Fans will gather in stadiums thousands of kilometers from the action and watch the games as if they are taking place in front of their eyes.

Qatar will be throwing money away...so Qatar World Cup should be cool

Nice idea, but technically impossible. The kind of bandwidth required to transmit that amount of data will be astronomical and only a few developed countries would be able to handle it.

Do it Japan. You can use the Super Bowl as testing ground for your innovation. Absolutely incredible and amazing.

if they over turn qatars bid then they should definately give the hosting rights to japan as they tick every box required to rightfully host the cup they proved how succesful they were when they co hosted it with south korea in 2002 and hope this happens.
