The technological elements in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics include but are not limited to:

1. Holographic imaging technology:

In "Cloud ME" Alibaba Cloud gathers holography In the cabin, Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee in Beijing, crossed a distance of 1,300 kilometers and "met" in the cloud with Zhang Yong, Chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group, through holographic imaging technology.

Even though he was in a different time and space, Bach was still able to present Zhang Yong with the "Flying" Beijing Winter Olympics torch and "cloud New Year's greetings" to the Chinese audience.

2. Artificial Intelligence Technology:

"Dongdong" is a human-like hyper-realistic digital person driven in real time by artificial intelligence. He has a sassy personality, a sense of humor, and loves ice and snow sports. , able to communicate with the audience in vivid and natural language.

In fact, "digital people" are not a novel concept. As early as the birth of Hatsune Miku, Luo Tianyi, etc., virtual idols have become widely sought after phenomenon-level two-dimensional "digital people" .

3. Cloud broadcast technology:

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will be broadcast to the world through Alibaba Cloud, bringing more than 6,000 hours of exciting content. This will be another major technological advancement since satellite television broadcasts of the Olympic Games began in 1964.

The "full cloud" broadcast of the Winter Olympics will be the largest real-time remote production in the history of the Olympic Games. Through the "Olympic Broadcast Cloud" supported by Alibaba Cloud, many devices can be migrated to the cloud without transportation, and technical and editorial staff can also work remotely. Even if no one goes to the scene, global Olympic broadcasts can be completed.

With the comprehensive advancement of various 5G cloud network technologies, viewers who follow the Winter Olympics can also enjoy a variety of viewing experiences such as "bullet time", AR/VR, high-definition video, short video, etc.

4. Virtual reality technology (3D technology):

At the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, dozens of high-definition cameras were used to shoot, transmit to the cloud, and cloud artificial intelligence + 3D The synthetic technology only takes tens of seconds, and the audience can freely watch 360 degrees of many high-speed instant actions such as speed skating and curling, truly "immersing themselves in the action".

5. Weather forecast technology:

Unlike the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics rely more on meteorological conditions. In this regard, the Beijing Winter Olympics events have high requirements for the accuracy of forecast time. During the Vancouver, Sochi, and PyeongChang Winter Olympics, the spatial scale of weather forecasting only reached the "kilometer level", while the Beijing Winter Olympics reached the "100-meter level" and "minute level". Currently, this scientific and technological Winter Olympics project has Incorporated into the World Meteorological Organization’s high-impact weather forecast demonstration project.
