3D laser analysis to supplement gymnastics judging at 2020 Tokyo Olympics
Aug. 11, 2016
The Japan Gymnastics Association and the Japanese technology company Fujitsu are working together to adapt the use of three-dimensional laser technology and data processing to the gymnastics judging system. As announced in a press release, they plan to conduct joint research on scoring support technology for gymnastics competitions.
Laser Focus World's take:
As we have continued to highlight in our annual Laser Market Review & Forecast article and forecast, lasers continue to play a role in both industrial and mainstream consumer applications. The Tokyo Olympics will highlight 3D laser scanning to better judge gymnastic finesse. Apparently, this venue will also offer autonomous-vehicle taxi cabs which, as we all know, incorporate a variety of laser and photonic technologies including light detection and ranging (lidar) equipment. Let the games begin!
