Tokyo Dome Corona Infection Countermeasures Verification of New Technology Use by Audiences Over Limits November 7, 19:09
While the number of spectators at large-scale events continues to be limited due to the influence of the new coronavirus, professional baseball giants will use new technology to enter spectators who exceed the limit in the official game held at Tokyo Dome from the 7th to the 2nd. We are verifying infection countermeasures by analyzing the congestion situation of the audience.
The number of spectators is limited at large-scale events to prevent the infection of the new coronavirus, but the giant will be held at the Tokyo Dome for 7 to 2 days with the approval of the country and Tokyo. We are verifying infection countermeasures with a maximum of 34,000 people, which is 80% of the capacity exceeding the limit.
In the verification, the passage in the stadium is photographed with a camera and the congestion of the spectators is analyzed, but in consideration of privacy, the spectators are replaced with humanoid icons, and the people who are stopped and the people who are moving are displayed in blue and yellow. Then, we introduced a new technology that can grasp the situation every hour.
In addition, we will ask the audience to read the QR code installed in the seat and send a questionnaire for the next two weeks using the free communication app "LINE" to continuously check their physical condition.
We would like to share the results of the verification with the government and the Games Organizing Committee so that they can be used for infection control such as indoor competitions at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year.
"We want to use new technology to provide an environment where people can watch games with peace of mind. I think it will lead to measures for the Olympic Games next year," said the giant, General Manager of the General Affairs Division, Hoshi Harumi.
