<Sports fans will be delighted with 360 degrees virtual reality that includes the option to view footage from their preferred angle such as from a sportsperson's head-worn camera or a drone with a more panoramic view. They will also be able to switch streams from one sports arena to another with virtual reality.>

Full disclosure: I'm not a sports fan, so maybe that's why I have this question. Woud this work for the people viewing the gamein the stadium itself, or would they have to view on a device to get that kind of view?

Re: view
They will definitely need a device. If they want a personalized view, they will need to control what they see. This link shows some of it but not nearly as exciting as it is envisioned.

Some early versions can be seen here

I should also mention haptics which makes it even more immersive wherein you actually feel what the sportsperson is

Re: view
@Kishore Thanks, haptics sound like quite a difference, moving beyond just watching. So would people who are going to events live also want to take a device along to get these extras? Has that happened yet that people at a stadium are also looking at screen -- not to tweet or text -- to get these additional views?

You have to wear a special kind of clothing for that. Besides sports, remote sex is also possible, they also give you directions. There is a company in UK which does this a lot. I will try to retrieve its information. Meanwhile, have a look at this.

Seems like Wearable Experiments has changed its website. It has videos for sports. The product seems to be still there although they appear now to focus on Yoga. The sports product is described here

Well, there are massaging devices-I have two of them, one for the feet and another for the eyes and forehead.

@Kishore Those sound like good holiday gift ideas. Do they make one for the back, too?
