In a scenario such as the World Cup, soccer is not the only protagonist, the innovation behind each match highlights the contributions and scope of Artificial Intelligence in the market. Over time, different technologies have emerged to provide a better experience and a fairer match. Var, aimed at reducing refereeing error, has been one of the most recent in the last 5 years.
But what are these trends that we will see for the first time this year? Here's what's new for this World Cup 2022.
Smart Ball: Through a motion sensor, every time the ball is hit, it will send the movement data and the exact kicking point to the match officials. The artificial intelligence applied to this will allow the quick processing of this data to detect plays that are out of play. The detected position of the player will also be taken into account.
Cooling system: 50 years ago Qatar was a desert and not a city, so until today its climate is characterized by high temperatures. For this reason, a grid located in the stands and the nozzles of the field, will maintain a cool and continuous ventilation. This will maintain an average temperature throughout the stadium.
Modified Var: Come back and play, again protagonist in a World Cup, but this time in a renewed way. Each stadium has 12 cameras installed on the roof, which capture the 29 points of movement taken every 5o times per second, of each player. These are monitored to calculate the position of their body when touching the ball in order to find out if they are offside.
Fifa Player: It consists of an application where the players, by means of data, will know their performance. Different parameters such as their physical performance and soccer intelligence will be taken into account for the result.
In addition to this, they will have images of important moments in the cup matches. In this way, they will have at hand a moment to save or share on their social networks. Last but not least, the platform will provide statistics for each match.
Many years ago soccer was defined by what we saw literally, where important decisions were defined by a person who could be biased by favoritism. Clearly, increasingly, the reach of artificial intelligence and the constant collection of data has meant that both teams and spectators can analyze the entire game more strategically and deeply.
This is just the beginning of much more to come in the future, with tools like Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. At Consware we anticipate this and digitize your company so that it can innovate and generate a differential value in the market.
