This seems like a bad product. Wouldn't court side, full size be much better?

I got a free trial of an NBA app for the MQ3 which had a courtside view. It didn't work on my 20Mbps ADSL so I stayed late at the office one night to try it out. It was kinda cool but I`d say third to kicking back and watching on TV at home or at a bar with brew and bros which is second to $6 tickets to sit courtside if you wish at college games in person.

Of course the real thing is better, but is that really an argument against broadcasts?

I think they're talking about a VR POV that's courtside more like a normal VR experience, rather than this perspective "above" the stadium

Oh. Fair concern, but it does that too.

> Tabletop shows in addition to the 2D livestream view you see floating in front of you as a large virtual screen, giving you the benefits of both.

No, I don't want a big 2d screen... I just want the virtual court side experience.
