Recently Japan announced plans for their bid for the FIFA World Cup in the year of 2012; not only do they have multiple suitable soccer stadiums left over from their 2002 co-hosting of the cup, but the nation has announced plans to bring the cup to a new era of technological advancement. In an effort to combine Japan's desire of hosting the tournament along with their innovative new technologies, the Japanese government has announced a potential $6 billion plan to broadcast the Cup in 3D. This isn't the average adventure with 3D glasses, however; the country plans to broadcast 3D images of games up through the ground of a massive, flatbed screen. This would be a groundbreaking achievement and change the way soccer is viewed for perhaps the rest of its existence.
Japan plans to stream the ultra-realistic feed to 400 different locations worldwide to bring people into the World Cup like never before. This unprecedented move towards technology of their broadcast gives them hope that they will be the chosen venue for 2012, which with so much fan fare and attention to Japan would boost their economy and national prowess.
