WORLD TAEKWONDO NEW POINT/RULE CHANGES FOR LA OLYMPICS 2028 - STARTING JUNE 1st, 2024. 

Daedo Gen 3 has an accelerometer and gyroscope added to the hogu, so in theory it can detect when someone has done a turning kick for technical points. That combined with the punch target and a PSS glove makes me believe that they want to minimize human error and improve the general flow of a match (less stops for adding points). KPNP Gen 2 as you mentioned and as is discussed in the WT video will have greater helmet sensitivity which should, hopefully, get rid of "hey my toe flicked you so I get points" type scenarios. If memory serves there is a KPNP Gen 2 PSS glove as well, and I think it was shown off at the WT Diamond League event where Gen2 debuted. The glove I think was an addition which was added to a regular glove via Velcro but somewhere down the line I'm sure they'll release one that has the RFID tag inside of it. I could be misremembering, though. In both cases they are looking for the PSS to register the punch and then one human referee to hit their punch button rather than the regular 2/3 judges confirming. I assume the gyroscope/accelerometer has the same idea, the hogu detects a body turn of 180 or greater and a human verifies that a technical should be added based on the athlete turning their head and shoulder prior to scoring. I watched all of the coach/ref videos that WT put up and I think I remember a part where they said they want to get rid of face/helmet kick IVR as it was the number one reason for long match delays. Again, I could be misremembering or may have misinterpreted. Thanks for the summary!
