Media center uses tech to link up with closed loop

People appearing to be on either side of a big screen talk, laugh and take photos together as if meeting face-to-face.

It's a scene at the 2022 Beijing Media Center, which opened on Feb 1 to serve domestic and foreign journalists not accredited to cover the Winter Olympic Games.

The holographic screen helps journalists at the center interact in real time with athletes who have entered the Games' closed-loop management system.
