Meng Gesson participated in the "Meet in Beijing" test match.
Walk into the "Ice Cube" of the National Aquatics Center, which is the competition venue for swimming, diving and synchronized swimming events in Beijing 2008, and has become a double Olympic venue through "water ice conversion". At present, the curling event of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is being held here. In the competition hall full of science and technology, there is a smart screen that makes people shine.
170 square meters of large screen, let the curling track "stand"
There are 4 curling tracks in the Ice Cube, namely ABCD. The "Ice Cube" technology Winter Olympic team, of which Meng Gesong is in charge, is busy nervously, responsible for the operation of the smart viewing system and the display of smart big screens.
The "water ice conversion" of "Ice Cube" is a scientific research project on the transformation of winter and summer scenes in the key special projects of the Winter Olympics of Science and Technology. As the owner of the National Aquatics Center, Beijing State-owned Assets Corporation adheres to scientific and technological innovation, coordinates the company's resources, transfers Meng Gesong from its digital certification company to the operation team of the National Aquatics Center venue, and invests in the key special work of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology Winter Olympics, which is responsible for the National Aquatics Center, and cooperates with colleagues in the stadium infrastructure and other departments to overcome difficulties and coordinate scientific research projects to carry out a number of technical research. As a sub-project of the project, "erecting" the curling track was a key task for Mengosson and his team.
Stepping into the venue, in addition to the 4 high-value curling tracks, the LED screen on the east side of the venue is also eye-catching. The screen area of 170 square meters, the application of a combination of virtual and real intelligent viewing technology, in addition to displaying the real-time picture of the base camp of the 4 curling tracks, when the athletes throw curling, the screen will also show the trajectory curve of curling.
Meng Gesson checks the camera screen in the background.
According to Meng Gesong, in the past domestic and foreign curling competitions, there will also be a screen display of the game screen, but often the size is relatively small, and can only display a fixed picture of a base camp, mainly to facilitate the referee to assist in sentencing, "and our screen is so large, and integrated into the curling trajectory capture technology, which is the first time at home and abroad." ”
At last year's "Meet in Beijing" test match, when the on-site large screen and smart viewing technology debuted, Meng Gesong and his team members were also very nervous. But when the athletes kept looking back at the curling trajectory through the big screen, and when the president of the World Curling Federation and the team of on-site referees all spoke highly of the technology's application, Mengosson understood that all the previous efforts and efforts had been worth it.
"The 4 curling tracks are beautiful, but it's flat and we put the big screen on the side of the stands like 'standing' the track." The curling competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics is being staged, and with the progress of the ice repair, broadcasting, sports display and other teams, Meng Gesson and his colleagues are also constantly monitoring the big screen on the spot.
This technology needs to communicate and coordinate with the sports display team and integrate into the other party's display architecture and technical system; at the same time, it must cooperate with the progress of the ice dehumidification team to continuously rehearse, correct, correct, and tune to ensure perfect application in the competition. The "Ice Cube" technology Winter Olympic team hopes to improve the athletes' participation experience through this technology, and also serve the audience, media personnel, etc., so as to intuitively and vividly observe the technical and tactical characteristics and real-time conditions of each team during the competition.
Technology is integrated into the soul of the "Ice Cube", which has both the beauty of nature
As the head of the technology Winter Olympic team of Ice Cube, Meng Gesson needs to constantly communicate and coordinate with various teams, and his work content seems to be biased towards scientific research, but it is inseparable from all teams.
In Meng Gesson's view, the scientific research and innovation he participated in made the "Ice Cube" have the beauty of science and technology, and after applying various technologies to it, it will not be very abrupt, "the various teams cooperate tacitly to form a perfect closed loop, the work runs very smoothly, we integrate science and technology into the soul of the 'Ice Cube', and the same is true in other fields, making it present a natural beauty." ”
Next to the "Ice Cube" Winter Olympic curling track, Mengosson commissioned the scene of the big screen.
Taking the conversion of water ice into the venue, for example, this is the key scientific research project of the Winter Olympics of Science and Technology. Based on the concept of sustainable development of the double Olympic venues, the "Water Cube", one of the iconic venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, was quickly converted into the high-standard Winter Olympic curling venue "Ice Cube", which Meng Gesson described as an innovation: "Scientific research must be done, but it will not lose our original home foundation." ”
Nowadays, after the exploration, research, efforts and coordination of all parties, the National Aquatics Center can achieve rapid water ice and ice water conversion in 20 days or even less, which not only preserves the important heritage of the Beijing Olympic Games, but also promotes the sustainable development and operation of the venue itself, and adds new ice sports scenes.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Meng Gesson participated in the Olympic guarantee as a service provider staff. After 14 years, his role has changed a lot, although he is still in charge of scientific research, but he is more deeply involved in the Beijing Winter Olympics. For Meng Gesong, this is a great honor, looking forward to another feast of the "City of the Two Olympics", he is full of confidence, "using technology to enhance the viewing experience, using the giant screen to decorate the beautiful 'Ice Cube', is his dream and pride as a Beijing state-owned asset and as a member of the 'Ice Cube' venue team!" I am very much looking forward to the scientific and technological scene on the Winter Olympic field, and filling in a beautiful color for the already colorful curling sports. The Beijing Winter Olympics will surely leave you with many wonderful and beautiful memories. ”
