Soccer in three dimensions at no charge

SHANTHINI NAIDOO | 07 June, 2010 23:060 Comments

If you don't have tickets to the game, here's a novel way to enjoy the Fifa World Cup and entertain your kids.



The "3D World Created by Sony" allows visitors to watch highlights of the 25 matches filmed during the 2010 Fifa World Cup in full 3D screening.

The 240-seater dome in Nelson Mandela Square will feature not only 3D football images, but will provide entertainment including music, movies and games during the tournament.

3D pavilions will also be located at three stadiums, including Soccer City in Soweto, Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium, and Cape Town stadium, along with fan-fest venues around the world.

One of the highlights is a 3D version of the Shakira and Freshlyground collaboration Fifa World Cup theme song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).

There will be performances by South African artists featured on the Hello Africa Fifa World Cup album featuring Lira, Freshlyground and Vusi Mahlasela, among others.

For children and non-soccer fans, Diski dancers and cultural performers are also part of the line-up, along with 3D PlayStation games.

Sony's 3D pavilion at Nelson Mandela Square opens to the public from tomorrow until July 12 from 10am until 10pm. Entrance is free.
