Today's technology is helping facilitate a renaissance of communities and the world. This compelling theme is about a transformation that is changing how we live, work, learn and play. Smart+Connected Life is both a promise and a commitment to build better lives through the creation of better urban environments in China and around the world.
The journey through a Smart+Connected Life begins with a warm welcome from the Cisco Pavilion Virtual Concierge delivered through the magic of virtual video conferencing technology Cisco TelePresence. Expansive sweeping curves envelope you, symbolically representing technology as the ultimate connector, effortlessly transforming lives, cities and the world. Here you discover just how connected the world is and yet, how challenged the world is as it faces rapid urbanization, environmental concerns and more. As you are transported to the year 2020, an immersive environment gives way to an experimental film chronicling a story of hope, of family relationships, and of connections made possible by innovative technology that holds great promise for humanity through a Smart+Connected Life. As your journey concludes, explore your favorite moments from the future made possible by a Smart+Connected Life.
During the course of the Expo, a series of activities will be held in the pavilion, including Chinese Family Reunion Online, Urban Future Technologies Conference, and International Schools Connected Online, etc.
It is in the year 2020 and the family of Chan is preparing to celebrate the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Chan. But trouble is brewing. On the horizon, a storm threatens and the city is placed on a state of alert. However, nine-year-old Xiaolong, photographer and journalist Xiao Lu, and eight months’ pregnant Lulu are still going to make their journey through the storm to reach the celebration.
As a highlight of the whole exhibition, the experimental film tells how innovative technology enhances communication, transportation and learning in people's Smart+Connected Life.
