The Tokyo Olympic Games, which was a great stage to show the latest technology to the world, was held unmatched, and most of the PR opportunities were lost.Companies that provide innovative technology are trying to connect their experience and know -how as legacy for the Tokyo Games and connect them to the postcorona era.
A huge screen with a length of 55 meters floating in the sea of Enoshima.More than 3,000 people should watch the sailing competition offshore.The technology of collecting 4K cameras and drone video data in 5G communication and synthesizing in real time reflects the movement of sails and waves that capture the wind.It greatly changes the style of watching at the conventional competition venue using a telescope.
Two weeks before the opening, the giant screens were decided, and the giant screen played the role of a monitor that conveyed the competition and the cheering of the family to players and tournaments.Shingo Kinoshita, who led the development at the NTT laboratory, played the badminton competition as a three -dimensional holographic video at a venue about 30 km away, and a system that allows you to feel the realism of watching the game in front of you.The live viewing, which invites the general participants, was canceled.
Although he could not communicate from the tournament, Kinoshita felt that he was involved in the Olympics and created a technology that could not be imagined by regular corporate development.If you reflect the audience on a huge screen and play live performance in the foreground, you can enjoy the live performance of famous artists all over the world, and think about the use of postcolona new technologies.
The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Organization Committee have led one of the concepts to use the world's highest technology for the development of competition venues and tournaments in order to realize the "most innovative tournament in history."In 2017, he launched the Innovation Promotion Office, cooperated with NTT, Panasonic, Intel, Alibaba Group, Toyota Motor, etc. to proceed with projects related to "how to show new sports".
Keiichi Koshiba, General Manager of the Innovation Promotion Office A & V Planning Division, recalls that the process of accumulating the knowledge and skills of each company after the Olympics was valuable, and he wanted to make this experience a legacy.
At the opening ceremony on July 23, the show was made by a drone -equipped drone group with a high -brightness diode (LED), which depicts the Ichimatsu -style tournament emblem and blue earth in the night sky of the National Stadium.The developed Intel, while the concept of the opening ceremony changed, changed the program with the Organizational Committee with a detailed communication.
Rick Echevaria, General Manager of the Olympic program headquarters, reveals that it was a difficult task to make 1824 drone flights in a narrow space in the city center where all frequency electromagnetic waves fly.He said he had four rehearsals in Tokyo.
At the opening ceremony, the latest Panasonic projector created a performance in which the red strings and dancers were intertwined.Development manager Yusuke Yamamoto repeated trial and error in a limited time to reflect the clear red color.
As a result of cross -organized development with the Olympics as a flag, commercialization was realized in one year, half a year shorter than usual.According to the establishment of facilities at the National Stadium in May and repeating the exams, the effects of being exposed to rain and wind can be verified, which will lead to future solution business.
Watching tools at the spectators Olympics are TV and official video sites.Ayuta Onishi, a broadcast system in Panasonic, who has supported the broadcasting system since the 1998 Barcelona Games, said, "I was most worried about the challenge."
While the entry restrictions of the new colona did not remain the equipment test, he worked on a full -fledged 4K broadcast, which is positioned as technological innovation once every 20 years.The broadcast time of the Tokyo Olympics is about 9500 hours, up 30 % from the previous Rio de Janeiro Games.I feel that the distribution of video technology that focuses on detail has contributed to the creation of opportunities for people around the world to enjoy sports equally.
Alibaba cloud "Digital Pin" was provided to media officials in this tournament and has become surprisingly popular.You can exchange contact information of membership exchange site (SNS) simply by tapping pins.At a media center where about 16,000 people from about 200 countries and the regions and press officials from the region come and go, there were people who were pinning each other.
Alibaba Cloud also provides a system that understands the risk of heat stroke in the tournament in real time.The device attached to the ear measures the body temperature and heart rate, and the venue sounds a heat stroke alert alert, along with data such as temperature, humidity, and sunrise, and a notification message such as hydration is distributed.
