I assume eventually there will be an upsell product that allows you to watch with a 3D/VR courtside view. I’m kind of surprised it doesn’t exist already. I think Apple would sell a few more headsets if they made this happen.
Apple are recording footage - there are immersive videos on the AVP for MLS and a few other things, and they're tremendous, but nobody is streaming them yet. It's a lot of data, which I assume hasn't been cracked yet.
In addition, the real end-goal would be complete 3D reconstruction that lets you view the stadium from any angle, but I imagine that's a few years away still - lots of technical problems to solve to create a scene and stream it in real-time.
Yea, there have been a few events where the (very expensive) Apple custom 3D rig has appeared courtside with no details given. It still remains to be seen what they're going to actually put out using it, since the Apple 3D content so far is extremely limited.
Somewhat halfway would be a slightly delayed version of the game using much better-in-hindsight decisions about which camera angles to show during a play.
