Integrating a gesture-based interface into all of our VAR systems for football (soccer), opened up the possibility to make the refereeing process faster and more comfortable.
Thanks to the gesture-based interface, the VAR referee can quickly perform all necessary actions - camera selection, search, zoom, playback speed control - using simple and intuitive gestures.
That allows the VAR/AVAR to directly control the system, reducing voice communication with replay operators (ROs) during analysis of controversial moments.
The gesture-based interface in VAR systems has many advantages: simplification of system operation and greater involvement of VAR/AVAR in the workflow, which leads to faster decision-making and, consequently, to shortening the in-game pauses.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to use the gesture interface of slomo.tv VAR system.
