Easy Spray for Refs
Currently, the marker that referees use to show the position of “free-kick” and “defensive walls” in soccer games isn’t much different than a simple can of classic spray paint…. and if you’ve ever held a can of spray paint, you know it’s not exactly light or ergonomic. This innovation on referee spray solves these two issues, making it more compact, ergonomic, lightweight, and easy to use. After all, the spray should be… well… sportier!

Spanish researchers to train FIFA referees on calling plays with stereoscopic 3D, won’t help catch dives
Spain might be on Cloud Nine after clinching victory in UEFA's Euro 2012, but a team at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid isn't resting easy. To help referees know when they should blow the whistle, researchers have recorded 500 simulated offside soccer (yes, football) plays in stereoscopic 3D to give refs a more immersive sense of what it's like to make the call on the pitch. The hope is to have FIFA more quickly and accurately stopping play without having to spend too much actual time on the grass. We don't yet know how many referees if any will be trained on the system by the 2014 World Cup, or if it will spread to other leagues -- what we do know is that no amount of extra immersion is needed to catch a theatrically fake injury.
