The semi-automatic offside system, implemented by the company Hawk Eye as the sole supplier of competitions UEFA and FIFAestablishes a virtual image in three dimensions through 10 cameras in the field and is not related to broadcast television. Thanks to this ‘software’, a 3D recreation of the movements of the footballers was drawn, captured in 29 points of your bodyas the attached infographic shows, up to 50 times per second.
No part of the body is immune to the monitoring, also called ‘tracking’, of its activity during a fight. From the head, to the chest, thorax, hips and going through every joint and extremities in its different parts.
Nothing remains of the x-rays carried out by those 10 cameras that end up reproducing the images that decide the legality or otherwise of plays and whether footballers are offside or not.
Once the operator of VAR room checks if the moment when the ball is correct, with the exact frame when it leaves the soccer player who passes the ball, the program automatically reproduces, according to the previously mentioned points, the 3D recreation of the position of the player obtained or not being offside and neither is his defender.
