Digital technology is shaping the future of sport

Technology defines not only many areas of modern everyday life, but also the world of cyber sport. Digital technology helps to avoid bad decisions and thereby ensure a fair playing field.

Technology has an impact on life

Technology has long had a firm place in everyday life. The main reason for this is undoubtedly the Internet. It has shaken the business foundations of many industries. How else, for example, could the autonomous driving that Tesla is aiming for be implemented?

Many industries, however, have completely reinvented themselves thanks to the internet. Thus, the games industry has become the largest sub-sector of the entertainment industry. As a result, many types of games that used to be played offline have migrated to the Internet. 

The best example of this is the booming iGaming industry. Today, thanks to the internet, a variety of online casino offerings can be played without any prior download. 

Innovation is also driven by technical possibilities

The enormous range of offerings has also facilitated the development of new sports. For example, eSports and Overwatch bet tournaments can be held without participants physically meeting. Gamers from all over the world meet in a virtual space to crown the best amongst their peers. 

Looking at the development in eFootball Championship Pro, it is clear that the best football clubs in the world are also setting the tone in the cybersport version of the sport.

A provider such as Vulkanbet now also has a wide range of live casino games in its pipeline, which use streaming technology. 

Despite the large selection and constant innovations, the original basic idea of the respective games has not been forgotten.

A rapid development can be seen, for example, in the mobile network. The new 5G mobile communications standard is setting the pace. It offers speeds ten times faster than 4G. This new standard benefits above all those services that require high speeds, such as mobile cybersport games and esport bets. It speeds up and automates processes and improves communication between devices.

Digital technology in sports

Smart applications support decision-making and thus play an important role in ensuring fairness. This is especially true for the video assistant in football. However, it does not make decisions autonomously, but provides facts that enable human referees to correctly assess a disputed situation. 

Virtual and augmented reality

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are increasingly penetrating our everyday lives. Trend researchers predict a great future for both new technologies as they make work more efficient, games more impressive, and human interaction more versatile in many areas.

There are also many uses for AR, among which are Games. Computer games are the most popular and probably the most common application. 

Increasingly, game makers are developing pure VR games that can be played entirely without control devices thanks to new technology. The game pieces are superimposed on the real-world environment. The principle of the game became known thanks to the popular game Pokémon GO.

Sennheiser introduces the SPORT True Wireless earbuds

SPORT True Wireless delivers an exceptional sound experience thanks to Sennheiser’s TrueResponse transducer. Designed and engineered in Germany, the acoustic system is powered by a unique 7mm dynamic driver that delivers full bass and superior clarity without distortion – even at high volume. The SPORT True Wireless also puts athletes in control of how they experience sound and perceive their surroundings. The unique Adaptable Acoustic feature allows athletes to choose either open or closed ear adapters and adjust EQ settings for the perfect custom training sound.

The open ear adapters in combination with the Aware EQ settings help to reduce body-borne noise and allow some outside sounds to enter for better situational awareness. In this mode, runners hear fewer distracting noises such as their own heartbeat or footsteps and more of their surroundings, blending their favourite exercise playlist with sounds of nature or the city while improving awareness. Those who prefer their own music in noisy gyms and don’t want to be distracted by the busy environment will find peace of mind with the closed ear adapter and Focus EQ settings.

In addition to the Sennheiser Smart Control App’s Focus and Aware EQ settings, athletes can make fully customisable presets for their listening experience via the Sound Check feature. The intuitive touch controls of the SPORT True Wireless let users personalise the sound to their preferences and facilitate access to audio navigation and voice assistants. Bluetooth 5.2 compatibility and support for audio codecs like SBC, AAC and aptX also make it easy to stay connected to mobile devices, smartwatches, smart TVs, and connected fitness devices for a seamless audio experience.

 

 

A secure fit that can be counted on
“Every movement during sports is a challenge for your earbuds fit to keep delivering great sound. For anyone who likes to listen to music while exercising, it’s important to be able to concentrate fully on the sport without fear of the earbuds slipping out of place. As all ears are unique in shape and size ‘one fits all’ is not secure, so we have focused on providing a fully customisable solution for maximum wearing comfort and a secure fit.” says David Holm, Sennheiser Sports Product Manager.

The ergonomic design of the SPORT True Wireless was developed precisely for this purpose. The earbuds can be customised with a choice of ear adapters in three sizes and four different ear fins to withstand any workout. With an IP54 rating, the SPORT True Wireless is dust and splash resistant and can also easily withstand sweat, runs in the rain, and even workouts at the beach.

Runs longer than you can
The SPORT True Wireless doesn’t just stand up to the physical challenges. With a battery life of 9 hours, and another 18 hours with the charging case, it offers uncompromising performance to go the distance.

Pricing and availability
The Sennheiser SPORT True Wireless can be pre-ordered starting now and will be available on May 3, 2022, with an MSRP of 119.99 GBP/129.90 EUR.

Tech Review – HIGHEVER Bluetooth Beanie for sleep and sports #Tech #Sports #Sleep

I have reviewed several beanie hats in the past which are an effective idea and simple mostly used in the Winter but this model here can be used in both sports and used as a sleep aide.  This is a really comfortable beanie to wear and is washable too which is nice of course and has simple to use controls on the front identical to controls I have used in similar beanie hats before. You can listen to your music radio and take calls which is handy and it can be also used as a sleep mask which again is handy with the early bright mornings we have now in the Summer.

Having tested in all scenarios this is really comfortable and does not clamp on your head and the speakers are placed either side and can be removed. The thing I find most interesting is how good the sound is with this and much better than I expected, it will not blow you away like some earbuds or headphones but the sound quality is pretty decent and is nice to see. This is ideal for those who like sports and like sleep and is not expensive either and worth a look in my book to try out and costs around 18 euro so for the price it is a nice gift to start with or just something to have at hand at home.. See the video for more below…
