Millennium Hall Events

Please come join the Hands-on demonstrations at the Millennium Hall. Participation is limited so please come early.

• Stand and walk by hands with virtual reality
  (Recommended Age: any age)

By moving hands in real world, you will experience controlling human body parts, such as arms, legs, head and waist, to do actions, like standing and walking, in a virtual world. You will vividly feel the difficulty of performing casual actions in a virtual world by using only real hands. After a lot of effort and finally managing to freely do virtual actions by hands, you may find that you are already not used to performing them in the real world!

• Challenge AI robot to air hockey
  (Recommended Age: any age)

A robot equipped with AI can learn various skills by trial and error like human beings. This time our robot uses AI to learn playing air hockey and practices a lot to master it. Please take this chance and challenge our AI robot to air hockey.
