The era of modern technologies affects sports in numerous ways, making it more comfortable and fair as well as creating additional opportunities for athletes. Here are only a few examples of how the IT sector improves sports nowadays:
🎥 VAR systems. VAR (virtual assistant referees) helps human referees to track specific game events. For instance, cameras enhanced with VAR allow one to look more precisely at whether there were offsides, fouls, and confirmation of doubtful scores during soccer, hockey, and basketball matches. VAR systems were officially included in soccer rules in 2018.
😎 AR applications. AR technologies help athletes imitate the environment of training grounds and allow them to stay in shape without leaving their houses. In addition, AR can assist fans in visiting their favorite sports events and create a total sense of percent while staying home.
🏇 Race tracking systems. A tenth of a single second often plays a significant role during all sorts of racing, so race tracking systems were crucial to monitoring the athletes' results. Qualified Consulting helped to create an easy-to-use tracking system with transponders (PODs) and a mobile app for timing points. Each athlete wears a transponder, and the app automatically registers precise timing when they reach a specific point of the race.
