In badminton, line-call technology is now used to assist line judges for when players challenge their ball is \"in or out\" calls.<\/p>\n<p>The FIFA World Cup is also no stranger to technological innovation. The 1970 World Cup, for instance, was the first one to be broadcast in colour.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/watch-world-cup-2014-online-free\/\" rel=\"noopener\">footballs fans get to watch matches live<\/a> on TV from their living rooms and see their favorite teams\u2019 uniforms in all its glorious colors. This upcoming 2014 will be no different when it comes to <strong>debuting new technologies in the world of football and international sports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s check out some of the highlights to look forward to.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Goal Line Technology<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Goal line technology may well prove to be the most important<\/strong>, and notable, new technology to make its debut at the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been used in European club football over the past year, most notably in the English Premier League, as well as in some smaller international competitions, but the World Cup is going to be the biggest footballing event to <strong>ever implement goal line technology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After an extended period of trials and testing, FIFA appointed <strong>GoalControl GmbH<\/strong> as the official provider of goal line technology for the 2014 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Goal line technology aims to assist referees <strong>in making calls on whether the ball has crossed the goal line<\/strong> and whether a goal should be awarded.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/goal-line-technology.jpg\" alt=\"Goal Line Technology\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>It does this by using <strong>14 high-speed cameras<\/strong> positioned around the stadium which <strong>track the position of the ball in 3D<\/strong>. When the ball crosses either goal line, the referee <strong>will be alerted<\/strong> via a wristwatch that\u2019s synced to the GoalControl system.<\/p>\n<p>You only need to look back at Geoff Hurst\u2019s 1966 World Cup Final goal for England against West Germany and Frank Lampard\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/england\/7857382\/England-v-Germany-Frank-Lampards-disallowed-goal-highlights-stupidity-of-Fifas-ruling.html\">controversially disallowed goal<\/a> in the 2010 World Cup to see how goal line technology will help the sport and referee decisions.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/goal-line-technology-watch.jpg\" alt=\"Goal Line Technology Watch\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h2>2. 4K Coverage And Broadcast<\/h2>\n<p>4K has to be one of the more interesting developments in display technology recently. We\u2019re all used to our HD 1080p displays, but 4K takes things way beyond that, with a <strong>display resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And what better way to take advantage of this new high-resolution technology than to watch the World Cup in all its 4K glory?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Sony and FIFA have<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/worldcup\/news\/sony-and-fifa-announce-further-coverage-the-2014-fifa-world-cuptm-2313778\"> joined forces<\/a> to do just that: broadcast certain World Cup 2014 matches <strong>in glorious 4K resolution<\/strong>. However, they\u2019re <strong>not going to be broadcasting the <em>whole<\/em> World Cup<\/strong> in 4K. Instead, Sony\u2019s aim with this partnership is to more towards bringing this technology to the mainstream.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/world-cup-4k.jpg\" alt=\"Sony 4K Camera\" height=\"282\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>To this end, <strong>3 World Cup 2014 matches<\/strong> will be shot and broadcasted in 4K: one Round of 16 match, one semi-final and of course, the final match itself. Match footage will also be included in the <strong>Official FIFA 2014 World Cup film<\/strong>, which will also be in 4K.<\/p>\n<p>The film will be released after the conclusion of the World Cup. FIFA has also confirmed that World Cup fanzones in Brazil will also be showing some 4K content.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/sony-4k-camera.jpg\" alt=\"Sony 4K Camera\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h2>3. Vanishing Spray<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re an ardent football watcher, you\u2019re probably familiar with this situation: when the attacking team is awarded a direct free kick near the opposition penalty area, the defensive wall is nearly always just a bit too close.<\/p>\n<p>This gives the defending team a slightly unfair advantage, triggering complaints from the attacking team and a delay as the referee tries to get the defensive wall to move back to the regulatory 10 yards\u2019 distance.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this might be a thing of the past at the 2014 World Cup, since referees will now be using vanishing spray to <strong>mark out the 10 yard distance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/vanishing-spray-1.jpg\" alt=\"Vanishing Spray\" height=\"333\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>When a free kick is awarded, the referee will <strong>walk 10 yards from the site of the offense<\/strong> and then <strong>spray a line on the pitch<\/strong> to indicate where the defensive wall should should stand. This line will <strong>disappear within a minute or two<\/strong>, so there\u2019s no risk of the line overstaying its welcome or having any untoward effects on the match itself.<\/p>\n<p>This vanishing spray technology has been used for a while in South American leagues, but this is the <strong>first time it\u2019s being used in a major international tournament<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/vanishing-spray-2.jpg\" alt=\"Vanishing Spray\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h2>4. Brazuca<\/h2>\n<p>As always, the ball itself is also quite a technological marvel. In the previous World Cup, footballers complained furiously about the <strong>Jabulani ball being hard to control,<\/strong> behaving erratically whilst in the air.<\/p>\n<p>This, as you\u2019d expect, is not something FIFA want to happen again at the 2014 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Adidas claims that the Brazuca, the official match ball for the 2014 World Cup, will be different; in a press statement, they claim that the ball will <strong>meet and exceed all FIFA metrics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/brazuca.jpg\" alt=\"Adidas Brazuca\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>According to Adidas, the Brazuca has <strong>been tested for more than 2.5 years<\/strong> and has gotten the <strong>approval of world-class footballers<\/strong> such as Lionel Messi, Iker Casillas, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Dani Alves and the one and only Zinedine Zidane.<\/p>\n<p>This level of performance apparently has a lot to do with the Brazuca\u2019s construction. The Brazuca is unique in that it\u2019s made out of <strong>six interlocking urethane panels<\/strong> with <strong>thousands of little dimples<\/strong> \u2013 somewhat reminiscent of a basketball ball \u2013 that apparently <strong>improve the ball\u2019s grip, stability and aerodynamics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/brazuca-messi.jpg\" alt=\"Lionel Messi And The Brazuca\" height=\"436\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h2>5. Mind-Controlled robotic Suit<\/h2>\n<p>Now, for something a little bit different. This isn\u2019t going to be featured in any of the matches, and it won\u2019t have anything to do with the broadcasts, but the 2014 FIFA World Cup will be the public\u2019s first glimpse of an <strong>exciting new robotic exoskeleton<\/strong> that might just be the future replacement for the wheelchair.<\/p>\n<p>On the opening day of the World Cup, a young Brazilian paraplegic will use this robotic suit to <strong>walk to the centre of the pitch and kick a ball<\/strong>, marking the opening of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/robotic-suit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Robotic Suit Kicking Off\" height=\"293\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>The mind-controlled robotic exoskeleton, <strong>built from lightweight alloys<\/strong> and <strong>powered by hydraulics<\/strong>, is the culmination of many years of work by the <strong>Walk Again project<\/strong>, an international group of scientists.<\/p>\n<p>The exoskeleton also comes with a cap which will pick up the user\u2019s EEG signals, which will then be translated by a computer in the exoskeleton\u2019s backpack into movement commands for the exoskeleton legs.<\/p>\n<p>While it will probably take a while before a robotic exoskeleton actually replaces the wheelchair, it\u2019s <strong>definitely an exciting development<\/strong> that will be great to see at the opening ceremony of the World Cup.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/world-cup-2014-technology\/robotic-suit-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mind-Controlled Robotic Suit\" height=\"313\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology is heavily used in many major and international sports events, for instance 6.6 pounds makes all the difference between a gold and a silver medal in the 100-meter butterfly event back in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
