As the World Cup in Qatar draws nearer, pre-match preparations are also in full swing. Recently, FIFA announced that it will use semi-automatic offside recognition technology (SAOT) at the Qatar World Cup, and the average duration of offside determination will be shortened from 70 seconds to 15-25 seconds. By introducing new technologies, it is helpful for the fairness of the World Cup and the accuracy of penalties.
At the time of the rise of the metaverse concept, FameDays began to look for more profit opportunities. As long as customers have demand, FameDays can set up a holographic projection of celebrity blessings in any location, the duration is 24 hours, and the price is only 5-20 US dollars. Through such a product, fans do not have to spend too much money to get the experience of "face-to-face communication" with the stars, and I believe that many people are willing to try it.
SAOT
Recently, FIFA announced that it will use semi-automatic offside recognition technology (SAOT) at the Qatar World Cup, shortening the average duration of offside determination from 70 seconds to 15-25 seconds. In response, Pierluigi Collina, chairman of the FIFA Referees' Committee, said, "We want to make a quick and accurate decision".
At that time, 12 tracking cameras will be installed on the top of the stadium hosting the World Cup matches, tracking and locating 29 recording points at a frequency of 50 times per second to determine the position of each player, and the built-in chip of the game ball will also transmit position information. The AI analyzes whether a player is offside and then relays the results to the video assistant referee and the referee.
