Description
The inaugural Olympics Esports Week kicks off in Singapore. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially recognised eSports as a sport in 2017, but "for now, there is no discussion about integrating real traditional eSports and video games into the Olympic program," says Vincent Pereira, head of virtual sport for the IOC. In the exhibition hall, visitors wearing headsets sparred with animated opponents in virtual Taekwondo while others tried out a dancing game and a racing simulation. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
