VAR (Video Assistant Referee) Touchscreen
The most iconic application of capacitive touchscreens in the World Cup is VAR (Video Assistant Referee). Referees use touchscreen displays on the sidelines to review replays and confirm critical decisions such as offsides, penalty kicks, and red cards. According to FIFA’s official description, the VAR system, in conjunction with the Referee Review Area (RRA) and information terminals, provides referees with real-time video replays and decision-making support.
