At the 2025 Osaka Expo’s China Pavilion, "Hangzhou Day" dazzled visitors with a seamless blend of ancient culture and AI innovation. Under the theme "Hangzhou AI for a Better World," tech demonstrations brought the future to life:
- Human-skeleton tracking and XR glasses enabling real-time translation
- Brain-computer interfaces crafting personalized fragrances based on neural responses
- Robots interacting with intangible heritage displays, from mortise-and-tenon woodworking to Song-dynasty woodblock printing
The event also forged international connections, with officials from seven Japanese prefectures (including Gifu and Fukui) attending the opening ceremony. This cultural-tech showcase didn’t just highlight Hangzhou’s digital prowess—it hopefully paved the way for future Sino-Japanese collaboration in science, trade, and industry.
