Fans of the Sacramento Kings may not see guys like Aaron Gray, Ray McCallum, and Travis Outlaw play much in their game against the Indiana Pacers on Jan. 24, but they will be able to watch the game through their eyes. According to Sports Illustrated, the Kings will outfit bench players (unclear if this means players who aren't in the game or players who rarely get in the game), announcers, and cheerleaders with Google Glasses during the Pacers game, and project their viewpoints on the stadium's Jumbo Tron. If all goes to plan, their presence will be a somewhat regular occurrence at Kings games this season.

If not the best of teams this season, the Kings are at least one of the most technologically advanced. Earlier in the year, they became the first team to accept Bitcoin as a valid form of payment for merchandise. By March 1, they'll accept it for the purchase of tickets, according to the Sacramento Bee.

"It makes them look trendy," said Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group, a tech consulting firm in San Jose, of adding Bitcoin.

The currency, not backed by the government and in the news several times this year for not the best of reasons, serves as its own sort of stock market, with the value of a bitcoin changing on an hourly basis. As of Thursday, one coin was trading for around $850, according to the Sacramento Bee.

With Bitcoin, Google Glass, and the recent addition of Rudy Gay, at least the Kings are trying to become relevant again after seven straight losing seasons. But they still need quite a few more pieces (or one big one) to even contend for a playoff position. For now, they'll have to rely on their technological innovation. Except they'll soon likely lose that as a unique asset, according to Jim Kovach, head of business development for the electronics company CrowdOptic.

"Yesterday, Commissioner of the NBA David Stern talked about the likelihood of licensing the rights of content for Google Glass," Kovach told ABC. "Currently, it's limited to the fringes of the game, but over time, I see it more incorporated."
