Do you want to know what the ancient ancestors of the giant panda were like? Would you like to stroll alongside the Ailurarctos from millions of years ago?
Ailurarctos is an extinct genus of panda from the Late Miocene of China, some 8 million years ago.
On December 15 (this Sunday), the "Panda's World" immersive VR exhibition made a powerful debut in Xi'an!
The story begins at the Panda Memory Laboratory, which holds fragments of panda memories from various historical periods.
While wearing the VR headset, you become a "time traveler," guided by Dr. Tan and the assistant Nico as you journey back 8 million years into the ancient forest.
Approximately two million years ago, the earth entered a prolonged ice age, during which the giant panda's habitat became covered in ice and snow. This drastic change led to a significant decline in the panda population, putting them at risk of extinction. It is difficult to imagine how pandas were able to survive such an extremely harsh environment and maintain their lineage. Through this VR exhibition, you can embark on a journey to explore.
In the serene ancient forest where pandas live, you will traverse the timeless river of time, "roam" 360° alongside various pandas, and experience their way of life.
As glaciers melt and forests decay, the giant panda population faces a critical decision. You can experience a deep sense of awe, as if you have truly stepped into the panda's world.
You can lower your head to "touch" the newborn panda at your feet, and you can also look up to feel the imposing presence of the larger panda. This experience is not only a visual delight, but also a profound exploration of the evolution of life.
As the first immersive VR film featuring the giant panda, "Panda's World" was created by a visual effects team renowned for their work on many Hollywood blockbusters, resulting in a stunning visual spectacle.
By integrating advanced VR technology with large-scale interactive design, along with the proprietary high-precision positioning tracking system and realistic rendering engine, the exhibition offers an unmatched VR experience.
