They make use of projector and AI and sensors to project and hold all the flowers together to form a kind of animal.

It is flamingo.

When you touch the screen, the flowers will disperse out and new flowers blooming out to fill up the space.

So, you can imagine the kids go and touch here and there.

Since it is interactive, I think kids of all ages will love it.

And inside is full of mirror too, to reflects what ever is projected.  So, be careful, don’t run inside and bang into the mirror.

There is also this calligraphy projections.  Which young kids could not make any word out of it.  (My boys Chinese too lousy… hahaha)

But the highlight of the night is this tea session.

The AI actually will project the flower blossom in your tea cup.

You will be brought to the tea room and have a sit.  You can order teh tarik (cold) or Japanese green tea (hot).  There are only 2 choices.

While waiting, Jay is playing with light and tea cup.

Quite nice.  The AI is good.  Sensor is good too.  Always follow the cup.  But you have to be there to enjoy it.  I feel taking video cannot feel the atmostphere.  With the zen zen music and people with surprise face, it feel good.

One of the flower.

Oh, no wonder they use teh tarik and green tea.  They need the foam.  To reflect the projection.

The feel is amazing.

Another nice video take of the blossom.

Of course you can drink these tea.  But as you drink, you finished up the foam, then, the projection become partial.
