5 Technologies in Use at the Fifa World cup 2014

Technology changing day by day and so is changing the games also. Here are some of the new innovative technologies being used in fifa world cup 2014.

Goal control

                            

                         

                   All 12 stadiums are equipped with this technology; goal control is an extra piece of equipment which help referees in making a goal decision. By this technology when ball crosses the goal line all referees receives a vibration and a visual signal on their wrist watches. Which indicates that a goal has been scored.

Vanishing Spray

                                   

                Vanishing spray is used to mark the place where the free kick is to be taken and also to mark the closest point where the defenders can stand to the kicker. It looks like a shaving cream but it vanishes within a few seconds delay.

Mind-Controlled Robot

            

From the first kick of the tournament, this year’s World Cup showed every sign of being tech-enabled. A paraplegic teenager wearing a mind-controlled robotic exoskeleton launched the event by kicking a ball while wearing the device.

The device monitors minute electric signals in the brain that signal voluntary movement, even in those who have physically lost the ability to move. The headpiece monitors brain activity and transmits signals to the exoskeleton.

Educational Apps

                  The app delivers match times according to the user’s time zone and analysis of each match that includes predictions and key players, to provide context for those who might otherwise find themselves lost in a new game.

Entertainment Apps

Perhaps hoping to capitalize on controversy, a team of app developers has already created an Android game making light of Luis Suarez’s tendency to bite other players. Called Suarez Soccer Bite, the game centers around biting other players while avoiding the temptation to bite the referees.
