Alibaba’s "Cloud ME" holographic capsule can be used inside and outside the Beijing Winter Olympics’ infinite loop management system, allowing participants and supporters of the event to experience interesting interactions in mixed reality. The Beijing Winter Olympics’ first "Cloud ME" event was a remote meeting on February 6 between Alibaba Group’s chairman and CEO Daniel Zhang and Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). They were unable to meet in person in China due to the epidemic restrictions.
