The 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou

Since the reform and opening up, Hangzhou has become the city with the largest number of top 500 private enterprises in China for 21 consecutive years, and in the past four years, the digital economy has empowered Hangzhou’s innovation and entrepreneurship, live streaming e-commerce and digital security industries

In September 2023, Hangzhou will once again gather the attention of the world, and the opening ceremony of the 19th Asian Games will be held here. This is also the third time that the flame of the Asian Games has been ignited in China, and tens of thousands of athletes from 45 countries and regions in Asia will attend a sports event of “heart to heart, @future” .

This is the first lighting ceremony in the history of the Asian Games in which “digital people” participated, and it is also the first time in the world that more than 100 million “digital torchbearers” have lit the cauldron tower called “Tidal Surge” together with the real cauldronbearers.

In order to make the online torch relay and lighting ceremony accessible to everyone, in the past three years, engineers have conducted more than 100,000 tests on more than 300 mobile phones of different ages and models, knocked down more than 200,000 lines of code, and ensured that users who used 8-year-old mobile phones can smoothly become “digital torchbearers” and participate in the torch relay through the combination of 3D interactive engine, AI digital human, cloud service, blockchain and other technologies.
