Innovation with technology and design
The "Urbanovation" pavilion, sponsored by the Innovation and Technology Commission of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), gathers 25 collaborators with a focus on three areas: "Experimental Business Solution", featuring five multi-media interactive experiential installations; "Smart Living", exhibiting 16 home gadgets with innovative concepts; and "STEAM Education", showcasing creations from young Hong Kong talents using education tools that foster participatory and interdisciplinary learning. One of the highlights is the interactive artificial intelligence (AI) installation "Mountain & Water", featured in the "Experimental Business Solution" area, that creates AI-developed landscape paintings using a generative adversarial network (GAN) algorithm.
Titan the Robot will make a trip from the UK to meet visitors at DesignInspire. Built using advanced robotic technology and AI, Titan's agility is enabled by state-of-the-art joints and mechanisms.
Highlighting Hong Kong creativity
The "Hong Kong Creative Force" pavilion, sponsored by Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the HKSAR Government, is a campaign to showcase the creativity of Hong Kong designers to local and overseas visitors. The pavilion will feature a series of inspiring works encompassing architectural design, sculpture, photography and painting.
The pavilion will also feature the "RetroInnovations" exhibition for which 26 young local design talents have created a series of design installations paying tribute to traditional culture and craftsmanship, including Chinese calligraphy and neon lights.
Meanwhile, nine local design service providers have gathered at DesignInspire, covering graphic design, interior design and branding, to showcase a variety of unique and innovative designs that meet the needs of different service users.
Innovative furniture design shows creative ideas
