Just imagine your future graduation photo in a 3D model! The recently opened Metaverse Experience Center, located on the 16th floor of the China Meta Valley·Hangzhou-Hong Kong Science and Technology Building in Shangcheng district, offers an immersive journey into the virtual world.

Spanning nearly a thousand square meters, the center features metaverse applications from over ten leading future industry companies in Shangcheng. Visitors are invited to break through the barriers of time and space, experiencing the extraordinary charm of metaverse technology through interactive and immersive experiences.

In one corner of the center, 3D printing technology captures your appearance in just half a minute with nearly 200 photos, rendering a lifelike physical model. Additionally, the thrilling laser battle game offers an exciting AR experience where you and your friends can compete in high-energy showdowns by simply putting on the glasses.

Among the fascinating exhibits is the Smart Dressing Mirror, where a few taps can change your outfit without the need to actually try it on. This innovation drastically reduces the typical 1-2 week fashion design cycle to just 8 hours, saving both time and material costs. Meanwhile, the AR glasses bring the solar system to life before your eyes, allowing you to explore planets and their orbits with simple hand gestures, turning science fiction into reality.

The center also features an AI chess robot, showcasing the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence since 2014 when scientists were still developing and training AI like AlphaGo. Visitors are encouraged to challenge this advanced AI and test their strategic skills.
