In recent times, NBA broadcasters have made great strides in enhancing real-time viewing experience. The very first live 4K match broadcast recently materialized, and there has even been a movement to tentatively coax out sports fans’ ‘inner geek’ with match stats packages such as SportVU to accompany viewing. Now, ESPN will continue down this road by debuting their ‘Virtual 3’ technology on January 30th to clear up vagueness for viewers regarding 3-point shots.
In the event of successful 3-point shots, the 3-point line will illuminate red, and will do so until the ball transitions to the other team.
