Hawk-Eye was invented in 2001 by Dr. Paul Hawkins whilst working for the UK-based company Roke Manor Research Limited. The technology was subsequently spun off into a separate company called Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd. Hawk-Eye‘s first official use at a sporting event was in a Test Match between England and Pakistan at the Lord’s cricket ground on 21st April 2001.
