Another nickname for the Hangzhou Summer Asian Games, which China opens on the 23rd, is the "Smart Game."
Chen Wei-chang, secretary-general of the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, said at a press conference three days before the opening of the tournament at the Main Media Center MMC in Hangzhou, China, on the 20th, "The Asian Games, which will be held for the third time by China, will be held in a new era. Many state-of-the-art technologies have been applied to hold a 'smart competition'."
"In the digital age, we have reflected smart control systems, IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies using 5G mobile communication networks in most stadium facilities," President Chun added, inflating expectations on what new technologies will catch attention at the Asian Games, which will take place from the 24th, the second day of the opening.
At the press conference held at the same venue on the 21st, Sashaoran, general director of the opening ceremony, Luchuan, assistant director of the opening ceremony, and author Leung Song explained the opening ceremony.
"This opening ceremony made the Qiantang River a symbol of nature," general manager Sashaoran said. "The flow of the Qantang River refers to the vitality of sports, the indomitable spirit of Zhejiang Province, and the trend of development of the times."
China's technological prowess will also be highlighted at the opening ceremony, with General Manager Sashaoran saying, "3D wire and digital real ignition are the first in the world."
According to the introduction of the Chinese English newspaper China Daily, the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee will present a scene in which online torchbearers recruited from all over the world ignite the online torch together at the opening ceremony on the 23rd.
Online torch relay linked to body movement has also been very popular since it began on June 15. By the 19th, more than 100 million netizens participated in a relay that handed over the torch to the next runner by shaking their cell phones.
Regarding the moment of torch-lighting, the highlight of the opening ceremony, general manager Sashaoran said, "More than 100 million digital torchbearers will gather at the Chen Tan River on the evening of the 23rd when the opening ceremony will be held to head to the main stadium and jointly light the torch tower with offline runners," adding, "This is a concrete expression of the progress of the human destiny community."
The Hangzhou Organizing Committee will also provide a "smart viewing" experience so that many people can enjoy the Asian Games on an online viewing platform without buying tickets to the stadium in consideration of the narrow auditorium of the stadium.
Audiences attending the opening ceremony can directly participate in the opening ceremony program through a mobile application. The audience will participate in the painting wishing for peace and prosperity of the country and the people by directly lighting the lanterns that wish for the health and happiness of their acquaintances.
Already, augmented reality AR buses run by the organizing committee are attracting many athletes' attention in Hangzhou athletes' village.
The organizing committee, which advocated a low-carbon eco-friendly competition, replaced various records and information that were printed, copied, and distributed to reporters with QR codes and digital search counters.
It also announced that the tradition of fireworks, which was the grand finale of the opening ceremony, has been eliminated this time and new attractions have been prepared using new technologies. 토토
To protect the environment, we will try digital fireworks through 3D animation and virtual reality technology instead of fireworks, general director Sashaoran said. "The audience at the site will be able to enjoy fireworks through a large screen."
