A team from Animation Research Ltd (ARL) has been at the University Oval trialling equipment ahead of the first test between New Zealand and Pakistan at the same venue, beginning November 24.
ARL has won the contract to provide Sky Television with 3D graphics and its Virtual Eye ball-tracking package for the inbound tours from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Australia.
Cricket operations manager Troy McNeill said everything was "going as expected".
"This trial is to avoid that first-game nightmare that you might get at the start of a tour," he said.
"The only problems we've had is we've been setting up some new hardware we've only just bought and we've been testing some new equipment. Some of it hasn't been up to scratch and some of it has been fine. Hopefully, we'll get all that stuff sorted out before the 24th."
Virtual Eye has been a silent adjudicator while Otago and Northern Districts have been battling it out.
Most of the lbw decisions appeared to be good ones but there was one "howler" where the ball pitched outside leg.
"It was an interesting delivery because it swung one way and seamed quite sharply back the other. If you were looking at it as an umpire you would have thought it had pitched and hit him [the batsman] in line."
Nick Beard was the batsman who was given out on the opening day and Graeme Aldridge the lucky bowler.
All ancient history now, as they say, but McNeill said there was the possibility of expanding into domestic cricket, particularly the twenty/20 tournament.
Domestic cricket could also be used as a training ground to test new technology and train personnel.
He also revealed ARL was testing some new technology which might be seen during the summer.
But he became tight-lipped when asked for further details, citing commercial sensitivity.
