Youth Olympics

For over a century, the modern Olympic Games have been the pinnacle of sports competition, evolving continuously to include the Youth Olympic Games for athletes aged 15 to 18 since 2010. In a groundbreaking project, the Olympic IOC partnered with Polyform and other tech teams to modernize the presentation of the games, particularly for younger audiences. Collaborating with XR Media Group and Intel's drone teams, they created 3D digital twins of Olympic venues using photogrammetry and advanced AI. Polyform's Discovery team enhanced the AR experience, integrating live broadcasts, social media, and Olympian stats into the digital models. This innovation allowed users to experience the thrill of the Olympics at home, earning an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Digital Innovation in Sports. While plans for a follow-up project for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics were disrupted by COVID-19, the project's success marked a significant leap in how audiences can engage with the Olympic Games.
