Tech in the 19th Asian Games
第19届亚运会中的高科技
Hangzhou, together with five other cities in Zhejiang, hosts the 19th Asian Games from 23 September to 8 October. The Games are very “smart” with the use of many exciting technologies. Let's have a look!
Every dish at the 19th Asian Games should be safe to eat. In the kitchen of the athletes'(运动员)village in Hangzhou, there is a special system(系统)that can tell people's faces. If a “stranger" goes into the kitchen, an alarm will go off to let people know. The managers of the kitchen will also get messages on their phones. There's also a system to keep an eye on the temperature of the refrigerators.
Do you want to walk around at the stadiums(体育场) but can't make it in person? You can try “the Asian Games'metaverse(元宇宙)”!It's a mini programme the on the phone. Inside, it's like an onlinecartoon world. You can see the stadiums from both the outside and inside. Also, you can have your own character in the metaverse. You can choose clothes for your character who is able to “run” around the stadiums and even talk with other online users.
Let's say that you are in Hangzhou and are going to watch one of the events. It will be sad if you can't find your way. A mini programme is here to help. It is called "the Hangzhou Asian Games AR service”. You simply turn on your phone's camera and it will see where you are and then show you the way. You can also get more information about the stadiums as you walk by.
The venue for the tennis finals of the 19th Asian Games is sometimes called the “Small Lotus(莲花)”.On the top ofthe stadium,there are eight“petals(花瓣)”.Each petal weighs 160 tons.They can open and close freely. It takes 15 minutes for each petal to open and close. It's built this way for different kinds of weather.
