Cavs the First in the NBA to Introduce Entertainment Platform at April 9th
Game and for 2010 Playoffs
Cavaliers to Debut Interactive CrowdWave Technology
騎士主場引進Interactive CrowdWave Technology(一種大型的球迷互動科技)--這是全
NBA第一次使用這種科技，4/9對溜馬的主場比賽將第一次啟用，季後賽也會使用。
CLEVELAND, OH - April 7, 2010 - Cavaliers fans attending the Friday, April
9th game vs. the Indiana Pacers will be the first in the NBA to experience a
new level of fan interaction with the debut of “CrowdWave,” - a game system
designed specifically to allow fans to play together simply by moving their
arms. The CrowdWave game platform is a mass-participation technology that
uses the collective movement of a crowd to control the video games that will
appear on Q-Tube, Quicken Loans Arena’s video scoreboard.
4/9看現場比賽的騎士球迷有福了，騎士球迷將是全NBA首度體驗到"CrowdWave"科技的
幸運兒--球迷只要擺動手臂就能參與互動的一種遊戲系統。這項科技會捕捉人群的動作
來操控顯示在球場大螢幕上的遊戲。
The technology, developed by Bent 360: Medialab Inc. in Ottawa, Canada, uses
cameras to monitor the movement of fans. Eight high-definition cameras
situated around the arena send images to a server that analyzes the timing,
direction and magnitude of the crowd’s movement, as a whole or section by
section, to generate commands that control a game or answer a poll. The
system turns every fan in the arena into a human controller, enabling them to
work together or to compete with each other to play a game.
這項由加拿大Bent 360公司研發的科技利用攝影機來捕捉球迷的動作，八台高解析度攝
影機分散架設在球場，把影像傳回伺服器，再分析球迷動作的節奏、方向與強度，然後
輸出成遊戲指令來控制遊戲或辦理投票。這項系統把每個球迷當作人體控制器，靠團體
動作來互相競爭或玩遊戲。
“We take pride in giving our fans one of the best game entertainment
experiences in sports, and with that comes the responsibility of looking for
the next big thing that is going to provide the ‘WOW’ factor,” said Amanda
Greco, Cavaliers director of game presentation. “That is what we found in
CrowdWave. The technology is truly interactive and engages everyone in the
arena to participate in a way they never have before in an arena setting. We
are very excited about its debut on April 9th and for the Cavs playoff run.”
"讓球迷體驗到最好的運動比賽觀賞經驗是我們的驕傲，其中一種方法就是讓他們感到
驚奇，"Amanda Greco--騎士的比賽表演負責人說。"這就是我們在CrowdWave上面看到
的效果，這項科技真的讓每個球迷都能參與互動，體驗到前所未有的經驗。我們對4/9
的啟用以及季後賽中的表現相當期待。"
The Cavaliers CrowdWave launch line-up will include five applications (two
games and three polls):
騎士主場的CrowdWave系統包含了五項應用程式，兩個遊戲和三種投票。
Dance Off brings the energy of 20,562 players to a game and gets the crowd
moving to a popular song while corresponding arrows mark the beat on huge
video displays. Sections are ranked by the accuracy and timing of the
movement.
1. 跳舞機--隨著流行樂的播放，根據大螢幕的箭頭所指示的節拍做出動作，每個段落會
根據準確度與節奏感來評分。
Rock, Paper, Scissors pits one lucky fan against the entire crowd. The crowd
votes for rock, paper or scissors by moving their body in a particular
direction as the player reveals his or her choice. The quick nature of this
game allows for a tournament style multiple rounds over the course of the
evening.
2. 剪刀石頭布--選出一名幸運球迷來挑戰全場觀眾，觀眾靠動作來選擇出手，這個快速
的小遊戲可以用闖關模式來進行數回合的對戰。
CrowdWave Polls let fans “vote” by moving their arms, for instant feedback
on almost any question. The system calculates the percentages of people
waving in a particular direction, and matches that to the fan’s choice.
videos, favorite music tracks and a Q&A trivia quiz.
3.投票--球迷靠手臂的擺動來做出立即的投票，系統根據每個球迷擺動的方向來計算各
選項的百分比。有影片，音樂，和問答三種。
For Mark Edwards, CEO of CrowdWave, the goals of the system is fun,
interactive game day entertainment. “No matter how good the technology is in
your living room, there’s no comparison to the experience of going to a
game, of seeing it live in a crowd of 20,000 plus fans,” said Edwards. “We
wanted to build on that unique experience with CrowdWave, to get fans working
together or competing against each other by providing an entertainment medium
that engages them.”
對於Mark Edwards--CrowdWave的總裁來說，這項系統的目標是帶來一種可互動的觀賽樂
趣。"不論你家裡的遊戲多麼有趣，沒有一種能比的上和兩萬多人同時在現場參與，"
Edwards說。"我們想帶來一種獨特的經驗，讓球迷們一起合作或是彼此競賽。"
