  "Kick" a hearty robot game on the immersive football field, fill your stomach with smart cooking machines and smart planters, and "walk into" the Louvre to experience the creation process of "Mona Lisa"... The future How does one's day go?

At the 5th China International Import Expo, you can experience it in advance.

  In this year's CIIE, a new artificial intelligence area has been set up in the technical equipment exhibition area, with 26 exhibitors.

Here, the metaverse concept companies have brought many fresh application scenarios, and specially set up an immersive experience area to let everyone have enough "eye addiction" and "hand addiction".

 Sports and entertainment, full of vitality

  "The blue team scored one goal in the first half, and the brown team scored two more goals in the second half, achieving a go-ahead!" At the SoftBank booth at the CIIE, a special football match attracted the attention of many people. Because the "players" who are actively fighting on the field are robots.

  This is the RoboCup football game, known as the "Robot World Cup", and it is also one of the largest, highest-level and most influential robotics professional events in the world.

This is a small football competition that is completely autonomous without the control of an external human or computer. It is not fast, but it is not too exciting.

  "On the field, robots can perceive, recognize, and move autonomously. We humans rely on sounds and actions to achieve the same behavior, while robots communicate through Wi-Fi and make the best decision after comprehensive analysis of the situation. The researchers at the scene said that the original intention was that by 2050, artificial intelligence could defeat a team composed entirely of humans.

  In addition to watching robots play football, spectators can also have a go at the immersive experience area.

Entering the "Rising Star Football Training Camp" created by Epson, an immersive football training field was created with engineering projectors in a small room of less than 20 square meters.

You don't even need to wear any equipment, you can train with one person and one ball.

According to the staff, this set of plans has been implemented in Beijing, and will also be applied to vocational education, tourism and sports, digital display of traditional culture and other fields in the future.

 Office and education meet with "Yuan"

  Metaverse giant Meta debuted at the CIIE as a new brand, bringing Quest headsets and experience items.

Through the VR application, you can enter the virtual conference room to "meet" with colleagues thousands of miles away.

  People working together in such a metaverse conference room can not only hear each other's speech, see each other's real movements and expressions transmitted by the virtual person in real time, but also share the screen, use the whiteboard and even "high-five", bringing friends with The same experience as an offline meeting.

  In addition, such a set of equipment can also be used in many scenarios such as travel, games and even training.

Meta said that it hopes to take the opportunity of the CIIE to release its conception and future outlook on the Metaverse.

  Nokia brought a demonstration of Metaverse wisdom education solutions at this CIIE.

When the epidemic made it difficult to carry out some offline face-to-face training, a digital twin corporate university was born.

Through green screen live broadcast technology, teachers can conduct live teaching in the virtual university, and students can also practice equipment in this environment.

 The new industrial outlet, "Yuan" keeps coming

  In the eye-catching position of the artificial intelligence zone, there is a "tree of life" symbolizing the flourishing development of real-time 3D technology, "growing" in the booth of Unity China, the company that participated for the first time.

Unity, which provides technical support for popular games such as "Honor of Kings", is well-known in the game industry.

At present, the application fields of the company's technologies and solutions have extended from game development to smart transportation, smart retail, and smart cockpits.

  At the scene, Unity demonstrated how to use digital twin technology to remotely control the factory production line.

In the application of smart factories in industrial scenarios, this system can quickly establish a smart production line at a low cost, and enterprises can easily operate the production line remotely and solve some problems.

  "China has the most abundant application scenarios in the world, and it is also the overseas market we value the most." Zhang Junbo, President and CEO of Unity China, said that the CIIE has become an important business card for China on the international stage.

  In addition to new friends, old friends Microsoft also brought the "industrial metaverse" solution.

Suppose you encounter a car failure while driving, what should a "little white" do to repair the car?

The metaverse offers the possibility of solving problems in situ.

In the offline training scenario, the 1:1 virtual-real superposition through Microsoft MR glasses equipment and mixed reality technology can realize the collaborative operation guidance of the real engine.

  "More and more industries and enterprises are simultaneously accelerating digital transformation and digital innovation. By building and strengthening digital competitiveness and digital resilience, they capture the global opportunities brought by the accelerated development of the digital economy." Microsoft Global Senior Vice President, Microsoft Hou Yang, Chairman and CEO of Greater China, said that he hopes to use the platform of the Expo to comprehensively display digital innovation solutions and help more domestic and foreign enterprises to innovate together.
