The future fan engagement system?

Can't remember if this has been posted before..when I came across this patent by Catapult, I think this can be a really interesting way to engage fans using the data that Catapult collects while a game is on.

Imagine that all fans can be given a disposable/use-and-return glasses (similar to 3D spectacles at the movies and then returned after the games) which will enable them to be engaged with the players from all different vantage points and they could get  

This is probably the future of stadium fan enhanced experience and can be a product that Catapult could offer in say 5 years time (or earlier if they can partner with stadium owners or leagues who's willing to sponsor the development and roll-out of this technology).
