At the World Cup, 3D models of players will be created to more accurately determine offside calls
Participants in the upcoming World Cup will undergo a 3D body-scanning procedure. The technology will create digital replicas of the players, which will help more accurately determine offside positions and make offside calls more visually clear for spectators.
It is noted that all 1,248 players participating in the tournament will undergo the scanning procedure before their national team’s first match. The information obtained from the 3D body scans will be entered into a data system, which will speed up and make the determination of offside positions more accurate.
In addition, with the help of digital copies of the players, spectators will be able to see offside calls more realistically during replays in broadcasts and on stadium screens.
This was reported by The Globe and Mail.
