🎮 Game Zone More than just a showcase — it’s meant to be played.
Highlights include but are not limited to AI‑powered matches, human‑AI collaborative challenges, motion‑interactive games, and VR/AR experiences.
If you are a game developer, interactive‑tech team or immersive‑content provider with a hands‑on, engaging demo that draws people in, come and join the game at Hongqiao Tech Week.
🌟 Immersive Experience Zones Turn your vision of the future into tangible, on‑site experiences.
Areas include but are not limited to embodied‑AI interactions, AI‑powered art & music generation, future mobility demonstrations, and simulated smart‑manufacturing production lines.

We are looking for more than conventional exhibition displays.
It can be a competition, a game session, an interactive installation, a creative artwork, or even an entirely undefined new format.
