Sports fans could soon be getting a reality television-esque view of their favorite players with the help of Google Glass.
The NBA's Sacramento Kings have been wearing the device during shootarounds and pre-game workouts to be able to record their favorite moments and give fans a view from their perspective, CNET reported.
While the players don't plan to wear Glass during actual games, the technology will give fans an inside view of game days through a variety of feeds captured and broadcast with CrowdOptic software.
The Kings have started with 10 pairs of Glass, but eventually, fans could have hundreds or thousands of feeds to choose from.
"The fans will be in charge," said vice president of business development and former NFL linebacker Jim Kovach, as quoted by CNET. "They're going to see what they want to see."
The devices will give fellow Glass wearers and anyone with the CrowdOptic app a closeup look at key moves as well as a behind-the-scenes view of how players interact.
Glass will be great for seeing "tricks and dunks, and flashy things... [You can] see different things, like the way people talk," Kings player Jason Thompson told CNET.
Players' different personalities will be more evident with the personal look through Glass, Kovach said.
"They have their quirks, and you can't pick that up from the stands," Kovach told CNET. "It's just interesting to see."
The Kings have used Glass during two game days so far, broadcasting the feeds on the arena's JumboTron screen. The team plans to offer a wider network soon.
"This is a new century," Thompson said. "It's 2014, and this is definitely the future, not just of basketball, but of the world."
