ARLINGTON -
When football fans set foot into "Jerry World" for Sunday's game, many were excited about what was in store.
"The games gonna be in 3D so yeah it's gonna be great, looking forward to it," said James Hohenberger, a Cowboy's fan.
80,000 people were given special supplies so they could participate in the first ever NFL 3D broadcast. HDlogix is the company behind the innovation.
"We're extremely excited, we worked on this for a very long time and it gives us an opportunity to showcase the technology and to let people know who HDlogix is," said Jim Spinella, President and CEO of HDlogix.
The idea was to introduce "real world" into television. Spinella wanted to show wants to show the NFL audience what could soon be available to television viewers around the world.
"We went from standard definition to high definition and this is the natural next step," he said.
Once fans were inside the stadium, armed with glasses, the question was whether they would appreciate the 3D monitor while actually at the game.
The massive test had mixed reaction.
"It makes you feel like you're right there. It makes me feel I'm closer [to being] right there," said Linda Jarvis, a Cowboys fan.
"It distracts from the game and it's hard to see and I don't like the colors. I hate it," said Gary Dye, a Cowboys fan who was not a fan of 3D.
Despite some positive feedback, the overwhelming response was clear as a stadium full of fans booed the 3D big screen and cheered when the monitor changed back to normal.
The company, obviously not expecting boos, plans to formally unveil the technology at the Consumer Electronics Show next month.
