A lot of new technology is added to every World Cup event, and football, the core of the game, is of course no exception. This year’s World Cup soccer ball has been equipped with a lot of sensors, and it needs to be charged before the game. Recently, someone photographed the soccer ball charging.
The football for the 2022 World Cup named “Al Rihla” (Journey) was developed by Adidas. In addition to the material and cutting to improve the stability of the air, it is also equipped with a position sensor to detect the position of the football in real time, so that the camera can track it faster. to football and player action. KINEXON, a sensor developer, said that when the football is kicked and thrown, it can sense 500 times per second, and the data is then wirelessly transmitted to the local positioning system for analysis.
Since the sensor can communicate, of course it must be charged with electricity. Netizens on Reddit shareWhen the football is charged, the charging cable is inserted into the football like an inflatable needle. It is said that each charge can be used for 6 hours. Of course, the commercial version of the football does not have a sensor, so it does not need to be charged.
