It’s also planning to broadcast a number of events, including the men’s 100 meters final, in 3D. Imagine that, the imposing figure of Usain Bolt storming down the track toward the camera.Roger Mosey, the executive responsible for the BBC’s Olympic coverage, said that the corporation was also thinking about testing “super hi-vision” technology. According to a Guardian report, the technology is “so advanced it is not expected to be in homes for a decade.”Super hi-vision broadcasts could be shown on large screens, around 15 meters (50ft) high, at various sites around the UK. Mosey said the quality is so good that spectators would feel as if they were actually inside the Olympic stadium.
