If you're unfamiliar with this; Hawk-Eye is the system used in high-level tennis and cricket to do computer-assisted refereeing. They've got a lot of IP for camera-based systems (think Kinect) and there are obvious gaming applications here.
But the really big angle: FIFA are probably going to bring in goal-line cameras, Hawk-Eye are in pole position to provide the systems driving it, and the tie in with the FIFA game franchise (already, I believe, EA Sports' biggest property – even over Madden and Tiger Woods PGA Golf) has to be, well, a thing.
