The site of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea is being equipped with 5G technology that will enable a range of VR/AR services for fans and athletes alike. The technology is being implemented by South Korean tech company KT Corporation, who have plans to introduce 360-degree live VR of events such as Bobsled and a VR experience that allows fans to participate in a virtual Olympic Torch Relay.
An early example of this technology was demonstrated at the Mobile World Congress, where fans of figure skating were able to watch a performance by Olympic silver medallist Yuna Kim from multiple angles. There are also ambitious plans to have self-driving buses which will be fitted with an interactive system that shows the Olympics action, complete with 360-degree capability.
