2011 Wimbledon Tennis Finals Available In 3D

This years edition of the oldest tennis championship of the world, Wimbledon 2011, will take on some new technology as the 2011 finals will be filmed using 3D technology and then streamed live across the globe in high definition 3D to theaters that are 3D ready.

According to Coated.com, the announcement was the culmination of a partnership that has been forged between the All England Tennis Club and Sony Inc. and in order to watch the match, you’re not going to need a big screen 3D TV which haven’t really taken off yet, but rather, you just need a movie ticket.

This year, three matches will be shown in 3D and they are the women’s finals as well as the men’s semi-finals and finals match.

Sony will be responsible for bringing the 3D tennis action to theater chains across the world and will use their relationship with SuperVision Media in order to do so.

Sony appears to be making a bigger play into the sports arena as they have recently purchased Hawk Eye technology, a company that has the technology to map out the position and movement of moving objects, such as a cricket ball.

This same technology will be utilized during Wimbledon.
