⚽ With the Euro 2024 final approaching, let's take a look into one of the most innovative (and sometimes controversial) technologies in modern football: VAR (Video Assistant Referee). VAR has revolutionized the game by using advanced video processing to assist referees in making accurate decisions on key events like goals, penalties, and red cards.
The technology behind VAR is partly based on the patent "Video Processor Systems for Ball Tracking in Ball Games," invented by David Sherry and Paul Hawkins. This patent, utilizes multiple cameras to track and predict the flight path of the ball, determining interactions with critical features on the pitch.
VAR has sparked endless debates among fans and experts alike. Has it made football better? Opinions vary.
