A debut on the international stage <\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Swiss referees Christian Friemel and Erik Hasselberg took on the experiment, officiating an entire international match – Czech Republic vs. Sweden – equipped with technology that holds great promise in sports but has rarely been tested under real game conditions. 

\u201cI\u2019ve never officiated with glasses like these,\u201d Erik Hasselberg told Swiss broadcaster SRF prior to the match, visibly curious about how it would feel. At first, the technology required some adjustment. Established routines had to be reassessed, head movement modified, and peripheral vision \u2013 the information perceived outside the direct line of sight – adapted. But after a short adaptation phase, the technology became second nature, and the game unfolded as usual. 

Meanwhile, the glasses recorded in real time where the referees focused in each situation, where their attention waned, and how they divided decision zones between them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
