Recently a lot of people, followers of any sport have many complaints about the solutions that referees had made in the game. For example when in football a player shoots the ball, and crash with the stick and bounces with the floor, but this happen too faster and we don’t know exactly if is it goal or no. An example was when Frank Lampard playing the World Cup with England vs Germany, had this bad luck and the referee didn’t accept the goal. For this, for the legality of the game now we have introduced in many sports the high technology like for example the instant replay in tennis “hawkeye” and also in basketball to be sure if the player put the ball inside the basket out of time or not. The objective is to get the true result of the game avoiding troubles and errors of the referees.
This research from new machines is done in many academics and one of them is the University of Surrey. Here the visual media research team works on video analysis, computer graphics and animation techniques to create the “iview” project which allows analysing matches from a huge array of angles to get the best view. They use several cameras situated around the field, or the stadium with which you can create and reconstruct what really happened in the game.
Finally as I said before the basic aim is to increase the level of efficiency in the sport and also in life.

ResponderEliminarGood post Santi, I couldn't agree more with you. I don't understand why the main official sport organizations like FIFA, NBA, ACB and others, are so late to introduce technology in the game. With the high level of technology of nowadays, you can't afford to make such big mistakes, like disallowing a legal goal in the Final Cup.
ResponderEliminarThey should take advantage of it, to make sport more legal and fair, but it seems that the introduction of this innovations along with the new rules of the game, are very slow. It's normal that referees call bad fouls or travels, and cancel the play because of offside or something else; they are humans and they can make mistakes, but at the important moments, like finals, you just can't allow that big errors, we really have to introduce technology into sports.
Let's see how this evolves.
Great post and comments.
