On August 10, the Hangzhou Asian Games Organising Committee (HAGOC) and China Mobile co-launched "Asian Games Metaverse", the world's first-ever metaverse intelligent service platform for a large international comprehensive sports event.

By integrating artificial intelligence, digital twin, virtual reality, and other technologies, the platform has made three creative spaces: Asian Games venues, urban cultural tourism, and personal Asian Games collections. It has also launched six innovative experiences: knowledge popularisation and Q&A, virtual competitions, metaverse-enabled games watching, intelligent interactions, and AIGC (artificial intelligence-generated content) personal collections. Users on the platform can watch games, engage in sports, and tour the city as virtual avatars.

Netizens worldwide can access the "Asian Games Metaverse" platform by searching for Smart Hangzhou 2022 on the Alipay app. Thanks to advanced technology, users can learn knowledge of the Asian Games, participate in virtual competitions, and tour the city's beautiful scenery at home.
