A chip is not only the heart of technology, but also the heart of hope.
In today’s world, where global digitalization and the rise of AI are accelerating at an unprecedented pace, semiconductors—the core engine of technological progress—are quietly yet profoundly reshaping human life. Taiwan stands at the very heart of this technological revolution. However, the complexity of advanced semiconductor manufacturing often makes it difficult for the general public to truly grasp its value or understand its deep connection to everyday life. This challenge became the starting point for designing the Future Zone experience of the TECH WORLD Pavilion at the 2025 Osaka Expo.
With a fresh perspective, the team set out to craft a visitor journey that blends storytelling warmth with immersive experience, opening a gateway for the public to perceive and feel technology. Every question and observation from the little girl represents the audience’s own projection and imagination of technology. Through her dialogues, learning, and exploration with the robot, her innocent and childlike viewpoint leads visitors into a narrative imagining how chip technology can shape a better future.
Through gentle, human-centered storytelling, the experience brings warmth to cold, rational technology and reveals the opportunities for breakthroughs that humanity can embrace amid the rapid progress of AI and semiconductors. It guides visitors to understand how semiconductors influence our world. Chip technology is not only a rational computational core—it is also a vessel of hope for the future of human life.
A chip is not only the heart of technology, but also the heart of hope. In the future, at the core of every device will be a chip from Taiwan—carrying love, dreams, and vision.
Through generative art and high-resolution Mini LED technology, the intricate aesthetics and strength of chip engineering come to life.
Using technological art as the medium, the installation creates a form of chip craftsmanship that visitors can observe up close and interact with. By waving their hands or moving their bodies, audiences activate radar-sensing technology that illuminates the chip and triggers flowing light patterns. Powered by real-time computational algorithms, the generative visuals respond uniquely to every interaction, producing one-of-a-kind visual expressions that blend rational precision with poetic imagination.
To reveal the beauty of semiconductor craftsmanship, the visual design layers multiple structural elements, magnifying chip textures that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Delicate points of light and iridescent color shifts simulate the vibrant sheen of thin-film coatings, guiding visitors into an exquisitely detailed microscopic world pulsing with boundless vitality.
Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is driving the global advancement of AI, with generative AI serving as the core language of the exhibition.
As generative AI permeates image creation, language processing, and computational fields, the role of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry has become more critical than ever. The team’s decision to portray future life through AI-driven generative techniques reflects Taiwan’s central position in this global AI revolution—from advanced nanometer manufacturing and chip architecture to compute-power enablement. Taiwan’s technological capabilities form the very foundation that allows global AI development to accelerate.
By letting AI “tell the story” and adopting AI’s own visual language, the exhibition conveys how chips empower the world’s future imagination. Generative AI is used to depict future scenarios in home living, education, and urban environments. Through high-resolution visual synthesis and layered animation, every scene becomes both intricate and evocative, highlighting the strength and value of Taiwan’s chips in supporting the AI ecosystem.
3D camera movements and glasses-free effects enhance the immersive experience.
By applying multi-layered camera positions and 3D compositional techniques—enhanced by the exceptional image quality of Mini LED—the installation develops diverse 3D camera movements and visual frameworks that break free from the limits of flat imagery. This approach creates a viewing experience filled with depth, dimensionality, and deliberate spatial dislocation.
Visitors feel as if they are navigating a labyrinth within the chip itself, standing at the very core of technology and experiencing how Taiwan’s chips connect to the future of the world.
Technology is born from humanity — and it is humanity that makes it truly moving.
In an era of rapid technological evolution, the Future Zone seeks to define how Taiwan connects with the world through technological advancement. No matter how complex the systems or how advanced the technologies, they must ultimately respond to human emotions and needs. By using technological art as a bridge, the exhibition invites visitors not only to understand Taiwan’s semiconductor industry with rational clarity, but to feel the warmth of the future with their hearts.
Interactivity becomes the medium that touches people most deeply—not only through physical engagement, but through emotional resonance. It allows technology to be not merely observed, but truly felt.
We hope that, after experiencing the entire journey, visitors will leave with a memory that stays with them—one woven from a humanistic story shaped by technology, and a gentle expression of affection from Taiwan to the world.
