Can VAR in the World Cup eliminate controversial penalties?


In March of this year, FIFA voted to use the VAR technology (Video Assistant Referee, video assistant referee) during the 2018 Russia World Cup.

The VAR (Video Assist Referee System) technology was used for the first time in the World Cup. Although "VAR" looks like the popular "VR", it is not the same thing at all.


The VAR technology is provided by Sony. It combines the game screen with the virtual screen to achieve multi-angle, clear and real-time 3D game detail restoration. In addition, the advanced dynamic scanner can also determine whether the player is going to fall, and the referee can put on the headset and see it more quickly to make a precise penalty.

According to reports, VAR technology can make 100% correct decisions in determining the offside of players. The International Football Council is full of confidence that they believe that VAR can achieve "the smallest interference, the biggest benefit."

"VAR is an absolute thing to happen." FIFA Chief Commercial Officer Philip LeFroy said in an interview. "It is a good thing to apply technology to football because it reflects fairness."


However, some opponents do not think so. The strongest reason for opposing voices is to interrupt the rhythm of the game and affect the fluency of the game. "The rulemaking is very clear, but the application of technology often leads to confusion and controversy." Forbes magazine commented.

Using VAR technology in the Confederations Cup, Chilean coach Pizi has his own opinion on VAR technology. At that time, Piji said: “It is certainly an unacceptable result emotionally because we have been accustomed to it for so many years. There is no VAR technology football game, but now everyone is very upset.Before, as long as the ball into the net, then all the people will focus on the assistant referee who, as long as he does not raise the flag, then one goal can be happy Enjoy the joy of scoring, but now? Everything is uncertain. You don't even know where you should start to celebrate."


This is just a situation that VAR will face. The problem of referee exchanges from various countries in the world. Whether VAR is likely to be manipulated by people still has many human factors.

A fan said that VAR technology itself is very mature, but the key lies in the technology used in football, whether it meets the development of the sport. "Fully mechanical use of this technology will stifle the traditional appreciation of football."

Technology has made the game more rigorous and can end people's controversy over penalties. However, technology itself can bring about controversy. This is a problem that football development must face.


Some people will certainly ask why we do not use artificial intelligence to solve these problems? The good news is that at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, AI really needs to intervene in the referee system. The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) plans to introduce artificial intelligence technology to assist the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games scoring system. Japanese IT giant Fujitsu is developing a 3D sensory system. Fujitsu said that the product will make it easier to score and assist coaches and athletes in training.


From the perspective of technological development, the speed will increase exponentially. Every four years, there will be reborn-like changes. Then in the 2022 World Cup, maybe AI will really be a member of the referee.

AI technology: can know your nationality by checking your handwriting

The handwriting will reveal identity information, but now AI technology goes a step further, and the handwriting can expose nationality. Researchers have tried to read handwriting through AI to get information about the person's emotions, gender, age, etc. This time their focus has expanded from individual to nationality. The 100 volunteers were from Malaysia, Iran, China, India, and Bangladesh. Researchers asked them to write the same English, and then use a linear distribution (COLD) recognition tool to analyze the shape distribution characteristics of the font, such as straightness, Bending and so on. The results showed that even if the volunteers with the same nationality were written in the country, the handwriting showed a distinct "nationality" character. This is the difference in writing habits made by words. Chinese people who are accustomed to straight strokes of Chinese characters, even if they write Roman letters, will not change the straight-line wr...

The AR-related project investment has exceeded 3 billion U.S. dollars last year. And by 2021, the market is expected to grow to 83 billion U.S. dollars. By the end of 2018, at least 1 billion smartphone users will use augmented reality applications. The VR/AR technology needs to be popular. The public needs to allow users to create and manage VR/AR projects simply and intuitively without leaving home. Just like today we can upload photos, videos or 3D graphics on various social media. As the blockchain, the main task of the Arcona blockchain ecosystem is to provide millions of users with simple and affordable tools for launching their own AR projects around the world. The ecosystem is built on a unique technology platform that can automatically g...
