Computer Vision: Omega has embedded computer vision technologies into its timekeeping arsenal across the games. Through multi-camera systems, AI models specifically trained for each sport provide detailed tracking of athletes and objects.
Swimming Touchpads: Omega has designed smart touchpads for Olympic swimming events. They are designed to allow swimmers to “stop the clock” by exerting pressure on the pads sending the time information to the timekeepers.
Quantum timers: Gone are the days of handheld stopwatches. In Paris, Omega will be using its quantum timers designed to be accurate to a millionth of a second. The timers feature on-board memory buffers to ensure accuracy, with timer data transmitted to on-site computers through USB.
Electronic Starting Pistols: Unlike traditional hand pistols, this innovative device connects to the stadium’s speakers. When the trigger is pressed, a sound is emitted, a light flashes, and a start pulse is sent to the timing device. This design ensures that competitors in all lanes, regardless of their distance from the pistol, can clearly hear the start signal.
Omega has designed hi-resolution scoreboards that display an array of information, including athlete pictures and related imagery, which is then animated, making for a more visual display.
