"Much of that technology has never been used at the Games before, says Yiannis Exarchos, the managing director of Olympic Broadcasting Services and executive director of Olympic Channel Services. The two organizations are responsible for producing much of the television, radio, and digital coverage, and content on Olympics.com. "In Milano Cortina, people will have unprecedented experiences," Exarchos says. Here's everything you need to know."
"One of the big technologies coming to the Milano Cortina Olympics are first-person view, or FPV, drones. These radio-controlled aircraft transmit images from their onboard cameras in real time to "offer dynamic perspectives on the race tracks," Exarchos explains. This year's Games will also be the first to offer 360-degree real-time replay. Offered as part of a collaboration with Alibaba, the system uses multi-camera replay systems and stoboscopic analysis to ofter multi-angle views, freeze frames, and slow-motion images of athlete's incredible moves."
5G and 4K were the leading technologies at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Milano Cortina 2026 will deploy more technology than ever for athletes and fans, including many systems never used at the Games before. First-person view (FPV) drones will transmit onboard camera images in real time to deliver dynamic track perspectives. A 360-degree real-time replay system using multi-camera replay and stoboscopic analysis will provide multi-angle views, freeze frames, and slow-motion images. A new curling-stone tracking system will display path, speed, and rotation with suspended rail cameras and ice-level views. Olympic GPT will supply real-time results, sport regulations, and interact with user questions.
