Celebrating National Day through Showcasing Robust AI Capabilities

Bringing an Immersive Sci-Fi Experience Based on the "Three Body Problem" to Hong Kong for the First Time

Part of the "Glorious Voyage: Splendid Achievements of the People's Republic of China in Its 75 Years"

HONG KONG, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate the 75^th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Leisure and Cultural Services Department presents the "Glorious Voyage: Splendid Achievements of the People's Republic of China in Its 75 Years" exhibition series and SenseTime collaborated with the Hong Kong Science Museum to organise the "Era of Intelligence" exhibition. SenseTime presents its innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technology at the exhibition, where it introduces the "Gravitational Battlefield" experience for the first time in Hong Kong. Based on SenseTime's immersive experience project "The Three-Body Problem: Beyond Gravity" science fiction (sci-fi) immersive experience, "Gravitational Battlefield" is an innovative and interactive game that integrates AI and mixed reality (MR).

The "Era of Intelligence" exhibition allows visitors to embark on AI's rapid advancement journey over the years, and how it is intrinsically interwoven with Chinese culture. Spanning about 3,000 square feet, SenseTime showcases a range of innovative AI technologies and applications that are integrated into our daily lives.

A key attraction is SenseTime's ground-breaking immersive MR-powered game "Gravitational Battlefield", which is based on the sci-fi epic "The Three-Body Problem" by Chinese author Liu Cixin, providing visitors with an innovative and interactive experience.

"Gravitational Battlefield" has been well-received when it was launched earlier in mainland China, and the game's format has been elevated especially for the Hong Kong exhibition. Leveraging both AI and MR technologies, the game can broadcast and generate summaries of players' performance and rankings in real time. Up to six players can take part as crew members in each game to embark on the mission where the "Gravity" spaceship pursuing the "Blue Space" spaceship. The interstellar contest between the two crews would take players on a trip that blends real world and sci-fi scenarios, allowing them to appreciate the unique appeal where science fiction and technology intersect.

"The Three-Body Problem: Beyond Gravity" is an immersive in-person gaming experience jointly developed by SenseTime and the copyright owner of "The Three-Body Problem." It was unveiled in Shanghai in April 2023 and had a 6-month pop-up experience store in Hangzhou in December the same year. Through the entire experience, including "Gravitational Battlefield", the riveting storyline of "The Three-Body Problem" was brought to life, captivating audiences with a blend of diverse art forms and technology.

In the exhibition, SenseTime will also feature a range of achievements in AI research and development, including large model, machine learning, and how these technologies can be merged with Chinese culture to create unique artistic and practical applications. Among them, the SenseRobot Go and SenseRobot Chinese Chess leverage deep learning and self-training methods to play expert-level chess games. With SenseMirage, visitors will experience first-hand the robust capabilities of AI technology in text-generated images. The exhibition will also display large-scale paintings donated to SenseTime by Professor Qiu Zhijie of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, which explore the intricate relationship between technological advancement and human society. The "River of AI" painting that links history, technology, algorithms, and AI applications together will let visitors understand and experience the evolution of AI.

Dr. Xu Li, Chairman of the Board and CEO of SenseTime, said, "As SenseTime stands on the cusp of its 10^th anniversary, it is especially meaningful for us to be part of the 'Glorious Voyage: Splendid Achievements of the People's Republic of China in Its 75 Years' exhibition series. As the sole enterprise partner of the "Era of Intelligence" exhibition, we believe that our exhibits will not only let visitors appreciate China's all-rounded development over the past 75 years, but also represents the journey we took over the past decade to create innovative AI solutions for a better tomorrow.

As we look ahead to the next decade, we will continue to challenge ourselves as we strive to continue leading the ecosystem in co-creating more cutting-edge AI technologies that bring about greater social good in Hong Kong and beyond."
