The outstanding technology at Euro 2016

Goal-line, anti-drone technology or some health monitoring devices will appear in the biggest Euro in history.

Few days before the biggest football festival in Europe opened in France. While football rules have remained virtually unchanged since 1863, the technologies that support them have improved day by day. In terms of assistive technology, football is about to approach sports like tennis, NFL and cricket.

Whether technology creates more compelling games is still controversial, but one thing is certain, the technology and football world are getting along. Euro 2016 will prove this.

Here are some remarkable technologies at Euro 2016.

Anti-drone technology (drone) technology

No-fly zones (no fly-zones) will be established on all training grounds and stadiums.

Drones have caused confusion at many major football matches, typically the chaos that occurred after the qualifying match between Albania and neighboring Serbia in May 2014. To prevent similar, even more complicated cases, French authorities have said they will use many measures to combat drone equipment.

No-fly zones (no fly-zones) will be established on all training grounds and stadiums. Specific information about the measures not disclosed, but the head of the Euro 2016 security department, Ziad Khoury, said they were able to take control of any drone as soon as they found themselves in the area no flight allowed.

Khoury considers this a great task because technology on the drone is currently booming. In April, the Euro service security department held a rehearsal, in which the hypothetical situation was to disable drones carrying chemicals.

Goal-line

Goal-line technology has been used in many tournaments like the Premier League or the Bundesliga.

Goal-line technology has been used in many tournaments like the Premier League or the Bundesliga. It also officially appeared at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. At the time before the tournament, people considered using one of the two technologies, including GoalControl (used 2 years ago by FIFA) and Hawk-Eye (widely used in tennis, football). sex and cricket).

Finally, UEFA chose Hawk-Eye - Basingstoke's product. This technology is also likely to be used in next year's Champions League. Goal-line helps determine if the ball has rolled over the lime line in situations where the referee on the field can not observe.

Virtual reality

Virtual reality is the trend of 2016.

Virtual reality is the trend of 2016. Devices and games use virtual reality technology more and more. This year's euro will also witness the emergence of virtual reality equipment.

Nokia OZO camera model has been tested in this year's Champions League final. The Finnish company said it will use virtual reality cameras to broadcast some of the matches in the Euro directly. All matches of England, some of Wales, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland will be shot in 360-degree format.

Of course, this technology will not soon reach households, because each Nokia OZO with 8 lenses, 8 microphones costs up to $ 61,000.

Health monitoring device

Hand-worn devices are considered indispensable factors.

Two years ago, the World Cup champion was Germany using Adidas 'miCoach to track all the parameters from the players' speed, heart rate, and distance in the exercises. Only 2 years after the wristwatches for health monitoring entered the bridge, it became popular. For example, this year's Premier League champion is Leicester City using the OptimumEye S5 Catapult Sport device. Experts conjecture that this is the main reason why the team player is the least injured among the English Premier League teams last season.

Wristwatches are considered an indispensable factor, accompanying antagonistic sports like rugby. It allows coaches to assess, predict player performance and alert injuries that may be encountered.

In France, surely these devices will be more popular than ever.
