offside zero-enhanced VAR technology
Offside Zero uses the Gemini 3 API as the sole AI engine to analyze recorded football matches and make explainable decisions for offside and handball incidents. It overlays the correct lines/zones on the pitch, generates a slow‑motion replay, and sends a decision to a referee/fan dashboard - turning Virtual Assistant Refereeing from subjective review into evidence‑based, real‑time officiating.
After MVP validation on recorded footage, we will connect the same pipeline to live broadcasts for deployment.
Gemini 3 Integration Offside Zero uses the Gemini 3 API as the core multimodal reasoning engine to eliminate VAR errors in football. We ingest recorded match footage and focus on two high‑impact events: offside and handball. Gemini 3 processes video frames, infers player and ball positions, and performs spatial‑temporal reasoning to determine the correct decision.
Gemini 3 then triggers tool calls to draw overlay geometry (offside line, penalty zones, contact points), generate slow‑motion replay segments, and publish the decision to a live notification dashboard for referees and viewers. Each decision includes an explainable summary and a confidence score. The result is a real‑time, evidence‑based officiating assistant that turns VAR from a subjective review into an AI‑verified system. After MVP validation on recorded matches, the same Gemini‑only pipeline is designed to integrate with live broadcasts and referee hardware for in‑stadium use.
