The development of computer-related technologies, such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, VR, and big data, has optimised the operational rules of various industries through their application. Within the sports industry, the growing integration of computer technology and sports has driven transformative changes in the sports industry in terms of training, strategy, officiating, and fan engagement. This paper investigates the impact of technologies such as wearable devices, virtual reality (VR), data analytics, and biomechanics on modern sports. Using a literature review and case-based analysis, it explores how these technologies optimize athletic performance, reduce injury risks, support strategic decisions, and reshape audience experience. While highlighting their advantages, the study also addresses ethical concerns and the emerging inequality between resource-rich and resource-poor teams. The research findings indicate that these technologies have comprehensively enhanced the level of sports in terms of athlete performance and protection, competitive strategies, and experiences. However, maintaining fairness and balancing these technologies with human-centred values is equally crucial.

This study on the simplification of brand visual identity primarily explores the necessity of simplifying brand logos and visual elements and their impact on brand recognition. The findings indicate that a simplified visual identity not only enhances brand recognition in digital environments but also improves consumer memory and associations with the brand. By reducing extraneous design elements, brand imagery can more intuitively convey core values while maintaining consistency across multiple platforms. Additionally, minimalist design aligns with modern consumers’ aesthetic preferences, projecting professionalism and a sense of trendiness, thereby enhancing the brand’s market competitiveness. Simplified design also facilitates cross-cultural communication for brands in the global market, increasing their international influence. This paper summarizes the various advantages of simple visual design and offers several practical recommendations, providing theoretical support for brands seeking sustainable development in a complex and dynamic market environment. The study employs literature review and case analysis methods. Using the well-known automotive brand Audi as a case study, it analyzes the need to balance visual simplicity with brand uniqueness during the simplification process to avoid the loss of brand personality.

The income of Disney in the Asian region is a very important part because even though they have a great influence in the United States and Canada, it is still not enough because the consumption power of people in the Asian region is still a very large part. Asians still prefer their elements and character traits. This study is related to Disney revenue in Asia in the future and affects Disney income as a whole, as well as the company’s position in the field of film and its impact on the film industry. Using secondary data, we have analyzed Disney movie data in Asia from various aspects, how to increase the profitability of Disney movies. From a cultural perspective, we feel that Disney should focus on improving Chinese culture and even Asian culture to increase their ratings. Not only that, Disney should continue to innovate instead of repeatedly using the same means of consumption. Finally, the significance of this paper is that we have provided Disney movies with very good conditions for increasing profits.
