This article talks about the many advances in spectator sport technology. It quickly mentions things like motion trackers, running pattern tracking software, and heat maps. The advances in spectator sport tech has allowed for the audience to become a part of the sporting experience with virtual reality sets such as the Oculus Rift. The game can be caught from 1st person view with Google Glasses from an athlete's point of view and can be experienced with all the same nail bitting experience. These new advancements have allowed for spectators to take part in the professional sports and makes spectating look really boring.
The author of this article is using less description and information then it would normally need. The descriptions are kind of vague and could use some development. Also this whole article seems more like a long advertisment for various tech items then an actual article about "The Extinction of Spectator Sports"
