IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE OLYMPICS THIS SUMMER

摘要

This summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo have taken on the challenges presented by Covid to accelerate broadcast technology. TOKYO WILL see many firsts when it hosts the Games of the XXXII Olympiad. Not least, that the 2020 Games are being held a year later than planned and less than one year before the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The worldwide pandemic also means that there will be no international visitors in Tokyo, but Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) will build on virtual-reality (VR) technology introduced in Rio in 2016 and PyeongChang's 2018 Winter Olympics to make TV viewers feel a part of the Games from the comfort of their own homes.
