Have you ever thought about watching the Olympics with 3D vision?

Now, Intel It has been announced that one of the most innovative measurement systems will be presented at the Tokyo Olympics next year: 3D Athlete Tracking (3DAT).

This technology will be used primarily in sprint projects. The 3DAT system will use four mobile camera arrays to capture the sprint of the athletes. The built-in AI algorithm will analyze the movement of each athlete and then use 3D visualization. Superimpose dynamic layers in real time on the field.

When the event is live, you can see the different speeds of the athletes at different points on the runway, all of which are constantly changing with 3D visual animation behind them.

Yiannis Exarchos, Executive Director of Olympic Channel Services said:

These overlapping visual images will be presented in a 100-meter sprint or other sprint event, and the global audience will be able to better see the different stages of the game and greatly enhance the Olympic viewing experience.

Moreover, in addition to providing a biomechanical layer of athletes’ postures, 3DAT can also analyze the athlete’s actions in real time and make corresponding judgments.

This is not the only technology Intel has brought to Tokyo in 2020.

They also want to Using VR technology to train staff in the Olympics. Intel will create a VR model of the competition venue, and then enter the virtual venues, including the track, boxing ring, beach volleyball court, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies, so that they are familiar with the various Olympic scenes.

Also A facial recognition system NeoFace, containing Intel’s Core i5 processor chip, will be used to identify more than 300,000 people in the Olympics, including athletes, staff, volunteers , media, etc. Intel said:

This will help prevent ID card fraud and reduce the waiting time for people ID checks.

The company also mentioned that it is developing 5G for the Olympic Games games Network project. Based on the 2016 Intel UAV Light Show, it won the Denis World Record Certification and became a single person in the world.As the performance of the largest number of drones, we are likely to see another light show that is more diverse under the 5G network.

As the market share of PC chips shrinks, the market will also Predicted profit growth will be flat, and Intel, as the dominant chip maker, is also looking for new opportunities.

Rick Echevarria, general manager of the Intel Olympics program, said:

This project in the Olympics can showcase the microprocessor technology we have been developing for many years, as well as our progress in software, algorithms, etc. How performance technology changes the enterprise, this pair We are also a very good opportunity.

In addition, before the opening of the Olympic Games, Intel will also hold A four-day eSports competition with a prize of $500,000. This competition was only considered a sport by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2017. It will be a complete medal event in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. Before that, it experienced a very difficult application. .

If this Intel e-sports competition is held smoothly, it can be foreseen to attract a large number of online viewers, and will also create a better reputation for its brand.
