On October 9th, the flame collection ceremony for the 15th National Games and Paralympic Games was held. The "source fire" of this fire comes from combustible ice at a depth of 1522 meters in the northern South China Sea, which is the world's first "deep-sea fire mining". The sports event is also a technology event, where many new technologies and products compete and showcase their abilities. The three sets of equipment for this grand event - Torch "Blooming", Spark Basin "Spark Building Dreams", and Spark Lamp "Prosperous Unity" - blend the beauty of art with the light of technology, showcasing the unique charm of the deep integration of sports events and technological innovation. From more dazzling opening lights and clearer broadcast images, to more fair competitions and vibrant cities... Looking at recent sports events, technological innovation has deeply embedded itself in many aspects of the event, becoming a "surprise" for audiences, athletes, and industry development. For the audience, technology makes participating in competitions more "silky". Large scale competitions inevitably encounter problems such as difficulty in buying tickets, queuing, and traveling. In the face of technological means, these problems are easily solved - documents, tickets, transportation, and payments are merged into a string of encrypted codes, greatly reducing waiting times and making the viewing process more comfortable. Meanwhile, with the help of technological innovation, the audience can also deeply experience the excitement of the grand event. For example, the opening ceremony of this grand event will comprehensively utilize various sound, light, electricity, and intelligent control technologies to assist artistic creation, using digital technologies such as virtual reality and high-definition video to allow the audience to experience the vitality of the sports event firsthand. It can be said that technological means are gradually eliminating the traditional pain points of watching games, such as not being able to understand, not being able to hear clearly, and long queues. For athletes, technology provides verifiable means of 'fairness'. At the core stadium of the 15th National Games football event, Shenzhen Sports Center, a global "perception network" consisting of 4207 signal antennas and 1767 wireless AP (access point) devices, combined with 5G technology to form a "smart brain" on the field, supports the operation of the event with millisecond level efficiency and becomes a "precise assistant" for referees, athletes, and staff. The participation of emerging technologies minimizes the space for human intervention, effectively ensuring the fairness of the competition. Technology is also changing the ecology of the sports industry. The application of technological innovation has made sports events an important scene for verifying technology. An intelligent wheelchair controller that can read instructions and navigate autonomously, like a thoughtful "travel companion"; AI guided glasses can control the error rate within an extremely low 0.1%... Many science and technology innovation companies regard the competition field and its surrounding facilities as a "large test track". If the technology is verified to be feasible, it may be recognized by the market and become a dark horse in innovation. By using sports scenarios to validate cutting-edge technologies and using technological dividends to feed back the sports industry and cities, this ecosystem is also accelerating its construction. Sports events and technological innovation are both pursuing higher goals. The deep integration of the two will collide and create even more brilliant sparks. (New Society)
