The Samsung Slider gives sports spectators a view of the entire pitch in real-time

One of the most frustrating things about attending a rugby match is not being able to see what’s going on when all the action is taking place at the other end of the pitch. Sure, you can look at one of the massive displays, but, understandably, it’s not as good as having the events unfold right in front of your eyes. However, Samsung’s hoping to make that an issue of the past with its new “Slider” seats, which will make their debut at the Rugby World Series matches in London later this month.

As can be seen in the image above, the Slider is essentially a carriage that consists of four luxurious race-like bucket seats, complete with seatbelts. If you're anything like me, you're probably asking yourself: “Why are harnesses required at a rugby game?” Well, it's because the Slider's mounted to a track on the side of the pitch; enabling the chairs to move up and down the field at speeds of up to 20mph — so spectators can quite literally follow the game as it's in-play.

Sounds pretty awesome, huh? I think so, too. Unfortunately, the only way to experience the Slider is to win a competition that requires you to have purchased a qualifying Samsung TV, Wireless Audio 360 Speaker or Multiroom Soundbar between 1st January to 14th May 2016. If you meet this criterion, you'll need to head over to Samsung's website, complete the entry form and hope for the best.
