OMEGA is poised to revolutionize the Paris 2024 Olympics with groundbreaking technology. The Swiss watchmaker, a long-standing Olympic timekeeper, introduces innovations that promise unparalleled precision in timekeeping and an immersive viewing experience for audiences worldwide.
Scan'O'Vision ULTIMATE: Unmatched Precision
At the forefront of OMEGA's technological advancements is the Scan'O'Vision ULTIMATE, a cutting-edge photo finish camera. This device captures an astonishing 40,000 digital images per second at the finish line, ensuring even the closest races are decided with absolute accuracy. Equipped with dedicated color sensors, the system produces clearer images, eliminating pixel interference and enabling judges to make quick, accurate decisions.
AI-Powered Performance Tracking
OMEGA's new Computer Vision Technology leverages AI models to track athletes and objects throughout various events. This system provides real-time data on athlete performance, including distances, speeds, and jump heights. For instance, in beach volleyball, it measures player movements and shot types, while in diving, it creates 3D reproductions of dives, tracking airtime and speed. This non-intrusive technology eliminates the need for physical sensors, offering comprehensive performance insights without hindering athletes.
Vionardo: Crystal-Clear 4K Visuals
For viewers at home, OMEGA introduces Vionardo, a next-generation graphics technology delivering 4K ultra-high-definition visuals in real-time. Supporting multiple languages, Vionardo caters to global broadcasters, enhancing the viewing experience for audiences worldwide. This technology ensures that the precision and excitement of the games are conveyed with stunning clarity.
