Zhang Yimou, the general director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, used four words to describe tonight's opening ceremony as "ethereal, romantic, modern and technological". According to him, the opening ceremony and the ignition of the Beijing Winter Olympics are the story of snowflakes, and completely different snowflakes converge in Beijing to become a human snowflake.
The opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games used digital performance and simulation technology throughout the whole process, simulated in the virtual Bird's Nest (National Stadium) before finally landing in the real world, and through the comprehensive use of artificial intelligence, 5G, AR, naked eye 3D and cloud and other technological achievements to achieve the effect of "less people but not empty, ethereal and romantic". This is the world's first large-scale application.
This is also the world's first large-scale application of 8K technology for the opening ceremony live and key event coverage, will be combined with 5G network to present an immersive visual feast of ice and snow.


It was time for the most exciting torch lighting ceremony!
After several national team athletes took turns passing the torch, cross-country skier Yilamujiang and Nordic biathlete Zhao Jiawen together put the last torch in the center of the big snowflake torch stand.

In the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the entire preparation and operation of the event, we see various digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital twin technology already being applied on a large scale.
This Olympic event, which will surely go down in history, is burning with the bright and everlasting Olympic fire, and with the power of technology behind it to show the great power that belongs to China, "together to the future".
