NFL and microsoft hope to use 3D holograms to bring the ‘the big game’ to life, allowing users to experience athleticism and skill behind each team’s stats. major events during a game could pop up as a 3D display that can be viewed from all angles without the need to look down at another screen like a tablet or smartphone. check out the video above to some of the early thinking around how ‘hololens and the NFL could bring football to life in any living room.
