Could anyone fill me in on the science behind the Hawkeye technology that is used in tennis to determine if shots are in or out. They seem to have precision to the millimetre.
I'm wondering how/why this technology isnt used for hockey when pucks are difficult to spot for the naked eye (when it's not clear whether they have cross the goal line completely).
I know tennis does it without manipulating the ball at all.
I suppose the problem is that cameras cant get an accurate view of the puck at all times with bodies in the way.
I feel like there should be technology available to fix goal-line disputes that are better than just the fuzzy camera zoom ins we currently get in the NHL.
