Artificial intelligence is being used in this year's Paris Olympics. New and improved technology has arrived. These technologies are going to add a different dimension to the experience of enjoying Olympic events. Also, the outcome of these events can be determined more precisely. This year's opening ceremony also saw technology. Get a brief look at the new technology at this year's Olympics.
The curtain rises on Paris 2024 Olympics. This year's event was inaugurated on the morning of July 26.. The opening ceremony of the 33rd edition took place in and around the Seine River in Paris, France. A wonderful show of dance, song and physical exercise was seen along the 6 km river from Pont d'Austerlitz in Paris to the Eiffel Tower. Paris was decorated in colorful clothes during this 4-hour event. This is the first time in the history of the Olympics that the opening ceremony was held in a river instead of in a stadium. It was there that the game of innovative technology was first seen.
A woman is crossing the Seine on a metal horse. The horse has been shortened with technology. Not on the water, but on the boat. But the rider was a real person. His name is Florian Isart. His flag in hand. This scene has become the iconic scene of this season's opening episode. About 300,000 people saw this scene standing around the river, from all around.

This is the opening ceremony. Another technology has been developed keeping in mind the convenience of tourists at the Paris Olympics. A translation machine based on artificial intelligence (translator). Viewers can understand different languages using this device, can find specific stadiums. This device is named Tridivia. With the help of this device, 16 languages including Mandarin, Hindi can be translated.
Now let's look at different events. Viewers will have a different experience watching swimming on TV screens. There will be four special cameras in the swimming pool. All movements of the athletes in the water will be captured with the help of this camera. They will go to the computer. This method is called computer vision. With this, the viewer can see the analysis of the athletes' movements on the TV screen. Besides, how much distance has been covered in a second, and whose heartbeat was then can be identified.
It does not end here. Suppose 7 people have entered a swimming competition together. The one who is first, what is the distance between him and the 7th person and how fast is the 7th person swimming, how much can he increase his speed and overtake the first person, all that will be known. Not only the first and the last person, but also the difference between each person and all related information can be seen. The audience will be more thrilled to see the swimming competition.
Another important Olympic event is diving. Keep the head away from the board while diving. Until now, the judges used to judge whether the head touched the board or not. But from now on, with the help of computerized cameras, it will be possible to see whether the head and the board have touched or not.

There is also technology for runners. In running, who touches the rope first is the key. But sometimes many people run together and touch the rope. As a result, it is difficult to see with the naked eye who touched the rope first. Cameras were used for that. This camera could capture 10,000 frames per second. But now the camera that will be used with new technology can capture 40 thousand frames per second. Also the camera pixels have been improved.
Spectators can watch the Olympic games live on TV screens in 8K (8K) resolution. Never before have the Olympics been seen in such high resolution. This technology is made possible by using Intel's chipset.
