"Jiaolong" manned deep-sea simulation experiencer, "Shenzhou" VR spacecraft simulator, large space VR e-sports, XR ski simulator, VR self-service playhouse... Recently, at the Beijing Winter Olympics Athletes Entertainment Center, more than 20 5G+XR (extended reality) intelligent experience devices have become a "punch card" experience resort for athletes around the world.
"This is Yanqing Winter Olympic Village! What else would you like to see? Shortly after entering the Winter Olympic Village, Norwegian alpine skier Lucas Braathen uploaded a video of the whole picture of the Winter Olympic Village on the short video social platform, showing the facilities in the village, including the VR room in the athletes' entertainment center. Lucas lamented in the video that everything in the Winter Olympic Village is cool. Soon, the video was viewed more than 76,000 times, with more than 8,500 likes and comments.
In the early morning, a group of Russian figure skaters came to the athletes' entertainment center full of excitement, and their first target was the VR matchmaking equipment here. Yang Xiaoshuai, the equipment supplier of the Athletes' Entertainment Center in the Winter Olympic Village and the head of the popular Qi Tiantian Winter Olympics project, introduced that the VR large-space offline real-life battle technology independently developed by the team can help athletes seem to be personally involved in the battle scene, and can run and jump freely, wave their limbs and box continuously.
Even if you are not a skier, the XR Ski Simulator allows you to experience a realistic ski simulation without leaving home. Combined with digital simulation technology, motion capture and other technologies, ski simulators can make athletes feel as if they are in real snow. Large and small loops, rapids slalom, single board, double board training free switching, in the experience process, you can also feel the wind whistling past.
"On the way, athletes can also feel the strong Chinese elements such as ancient Chinese buildings, the Great Wall, Chinese knots, and red lanterns." Yang Xiaoshuai said. It is reported that large-space VR e-sports, XR ski simulator and other related technologies have been applied in the preparation of Winter Olympic athletes.
"What a surprise!" Among the various VR equipment for cool experiences, the most admired by athletes is the "Jiaolong" manned deep-sea simulation experiencer. Sitting in the holographic capsule of the Jiaolong manned deep-sea simulator and putting on a VR helmet, a foreign athlete entered the deep sea and marveled at the dolphins and colorful underwater world that suddenly popped out of the "side" to interact.
Without leaving the Winter Olympic Village, athletes from all over the world can personally experience the charm of a Jiaolong, Shenzhou spaceship and other Chinese national heavy weapons, and can also have an encounter with the ancient Chinese Qin Terracotta Warriors through VR equipment. In the mini VR self-service playhouse and VR arcade project, athletes wear VR glasses to self-help VR education, VR movie viewing, VR tourism and other experiences.
"The entertainment center equipment is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and the feedback from the athletes is very enthusiastic, almost all day long, and some popular events need to be queued." Yang Xiaoshuai introduced that the intelligent equipment of the three athlete entertainment centers set up in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou areas receives more than 200 athletes from all over the world every day.
