While most of the venues of the Tokyo Olympics are unattended and people are required to watch the game at home, a new style of cheering is emerging to watch the game with friends and colleagues on the Internet.
An IT company in Ishikawa Prefecture, which develops a system for a virtual workplace and "virtual office" on the Internet, has created "live viewing" that allows you to watch the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games at the same time even if you are away.
On the 24th, seven people, including IT company employees and friends, connected remotely and watched a judo boys' game.
When the players were projected on the screen, the gathered people cheered together by talking to each other and chatting with each other.
And when Naohisa Takato, a 60-kilometer class player, won the first gold medal in this tournament for Japan, he cheered and rejoiced.
Hayaya Miyashiro of the IT company "oVice" who developed the system said, "It's really fun to be able to share the moment of excitement while you can't get together and watch the game. Many people can support with people who are far away. I want you to utilize it. "
This system will be provided free of charge during the tournament, and some companies that use it will allow up to 8 hours of watching games during business hours, so it is new with Corona. The style of support is also beginning to spread.
