Today at Worlds, Fujitsu held a press conference telling us where they are at with the technology.

It’s being used at Worlds 2019, but only in case of appeal or ‘blocked score’. Blocked score is when the Superior Jury disagree with the D-panel start score.
MAG Vault, Rings, Pommels and WAG Vault.
WAG Beam looks near ready but is not being used here.
Steve said it had been used on Rings already and that judges had found it valuable.
IOC has not approved it for use at the Tokyo Olympics but FIG and Fujitsu plan to roll it out increasingly through to the 2024 Olympics.
I’m most excited about it being used by coaches in the Gym. Fujitsu will offer it to National Training Centres (or equivalent) worldwide.
