This not only created the first digital ignition in the history of the Asian Games, but also was the first in a comprehensive international sports event.

For more than a year, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the digital torch bearer activities of the Asian Games, Hangzhou Asian Organizing Committee and Alipay, an official partner, have made a series of scientific and technological exploration and innovation around the three core goals of "wide coverage (100 million level equipment), stable operation (no jam), and good visual effect".

In order to allow as many people as possible to participate in the online torch relay, the Asian Games digital torch bearer team also established a large testing room and tested hundreds of mobile phones of different eras and models.

In addition, in order to achieve a digital image of "one person, one side" for billions of users, the Asian Games digital torchbearers team used AI and other technologies to capture tens of thousands of actions and draw hundreds of thousands of design drawings, from personalized facial recognition and action capture to clothing design. This has enabled the Asian Games digital torchbearers to have two trillion different images, meeting the global digital torchbearers' unique needs.
