PANews reported on September 24 that on the evening of September 23, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou officially opened. The lighting ceremony realized "digital ignition" for the first time, with more than 100 million digital torchbearers running out of the Alipay App to gather at the Great Lotus to ignite. After the lighting ceremony, each digital torchbearer can receive an exclusive digital lighting certificate, engraved with the unique image of each digital torchbearer. This certificate is stored on the Ant Chain through distributed technology, and the glorious moment of lighting the torch can be remembered forever.
At the same time, the Hangzhou Asian Games simultaneously released the first "Digital Main Torch Tower" through the Alipay App. Relying on physical restoration design and three-dimensional rendering technology, it is the first digital licensed product of the Asian Games that can be upgraded and deformed.
In addition, the AR interaction at the opening ceremony also impressed the audience. Open Alipay and scan the main stage to summon the mascot "Three Little Ones", release wishing lanterns, and send postcards. AR (Augmented Reality) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) )’s technological fusion is refreshing.
