Major events in your own living room

Technology set to take sports fans to a whole new level at home

Imagine sitting on Center Court at Wimbledon, ringside at a Las Vegas heavyweight boxing title fight, or among the VIPs at an NBA game - all from the comfort of your own home.

Far-fetched? Maybe. But in a few years, sports fans more accustomed to watching sport on television may be able to don virtual-reality headsets that allow them to experience the action closer than ever before.
