IPL - Going 3D and Online Youtube

Go to hell Modi, and take the IPL with you :)

If he thinks this is the way to win over cricket fans, he's wrong.

The IPL should focus less on commercialising and more on providing a good contest.

Although I do hate Mr Greedy Modi and most of his silly ideas, I don't have any problem with this particular one. It is a pretty good move, tbh. If Modi can turn his IPL to some 3-D extravaganza, without making any compromises on the cricketing aspect of it, then what's the fuss about? Almost all the sports are switching to 3-D nowadays, including Football. I'll love to see Cricket following the same path.

And if Modi really implements this technology in his league, then he will actually be turning the IPL to a testing ground of 3-D, before the technology finally gets implemented in international cricket. Will this not be great?

I hate the IPL I honestly believe it is killing the true nature of cricket. Yes it may be extrememly entertaining but it takes away from cricket itself. I said this before T20 is not cricket at all. Just to see complete slogging and to see a batsmen praying for a six isn't what cricket is. I mean for god sakes, Pakistan is the best T20 nation in the world they made it to the finals the first time and won the T20 world cup the last time.

This is why we should get rid of this crap called the IPL, the reason I believe that Australia is such a great nation when it comes to cricket is because they will never stop producing great test cricketers. There team doesn't care about T20 all it cares about is the ODIs and the Test format of cricket, this is why MODI....get the hell outta cricket your killing us man.

EPIC Fail attempt at slagging off the IPL.

The only problem I have with it is his focusing on commercialism and dragging big audiences rather than providing a good contest. Why not cut down on matches instead of this?

How can you cut down on matches? seriously. from now on the matches can only increase with more teams coming in. IPL is here to stay in the long run and world cricket will inevitably change one way or another....
 
Good move... But least intrested in IPL
 
Yes i agree with Gazza... Tooo many matches.. Keep it playing once a team instead of twice
 
I think only the Indian audience (people living in India) might enjoy the 3D-IPL in 2010.
 
Oh I read both.

It says 3D will be offered in pubs and bars as well - normally pubs and bars use the normal cable / satellite feed to my knowledge.

Therefore there may be a way for us normal people to access it.
Normal cable/satellite wires will have enough bandwidth to deliver this content. Maybe not in a broader scale if lots of channels start doing it, but definitely in a one-off scale. Like I said, TNT or some other company recently broadcast a movie in 3D on their normal network channel. So it's definitely possible.

As for internet, with IPTV (VDSL), I'm able to receive 2 HD and 2 SD streams at a time. The bandwidth available in my area is about 40 Mbps shared. The fastest internet connection U-Verse provides to me is 18 Mbps (I'm currently on the 12 Mbps plan). This means that they still have about 20-22 Mbps to broadcast television and any other services.

Will I need to wear special glasses?
Yep, as far as I am aware there is no way for our eyes to combine the different depths into a single image--which is why when you take your polarized glasses off in a 3D movie you will notice blurry images.

There appear to be 4 different ways to interpret 3D pictures with our eyes:

1. Anaglyphic 3D - interpreted with the plasticky red-cyan glasses
2. Polarization 3D - interpreted with polarized glasses (most common)
3. Alternate-frame sequencing - requires special glasses
4. Autostereoscopic displays - apparently your TV has a film that projects the image being broadcast into a three-dimensional space, but only from certain angles

Okay go back to school, let me tell you why.You say my post is an EPIC FAIL when your posts has no reason to explain why my post is an epic fail. If you are trying to have a discussion or debate for that matter you must first and most foremost, explain. You think your SO SMART by saying that my post is SO STUPID when you have no reason whatsoever in any point mind it that my posts has any statement wrong with it.

Now read my posts properly because I highly doubt that you read it first off. First and most foremost, I said that T20 is killing the true nature of cricket. Now I am a true cricket fan and if you go to I don't know Australia and you asks them what is the best game of cricket 9 times out of 10 the person will say a Tests match. It is the true battle between bat and ball now listen I said over and over again the IPL yes will bring the game of cricket to the western world but what's the difference if the only form of cricket you bring is a T20 game which experts will say is not CRICKET. So read my posts before you blantly try and bash my posts to try and act smart when you are clearly not.



Now coming to the topic, I will say that this IPL going 3-D is going to be very interesting and the going on Youtube will get more fans into the game. I think that the ICC should also try and get games into 3-D as well because if the IPL can do this than the ICC should be able to do it right?
