Since the beginning of this year, a variety of technologies such as holographic projection, AR, VR, artificial intelligence, flexible screens, robots, and "cloud" technology have been combined and applied to the Spring Festival Gala. In "Imagination of Youth", the screen worn by the dancer has a certain degree of curvature, which can be fitted with the shape of the performer's body, and the flexible screen will change the light and shadow with the rhythm of the music. At present, this technology is widely used in folding screen electronic products.

Spring Festival Gala 2021: XR Technology and Cloud Stage
This year, do you remember Andy Lau, who interacted with Wang Yibo and Guan Xiaotong tacitly on the stage? Because of the epidemic, "cloud propagation" technology and XR technology have enabled recording performers who are not at the same scene to achieve "same stage". Jay Chou sang "Mojito", "moved" the stage to the coastal city, and drove a pink flying car down the mountain and the sea to travel around the world. This effect also benefits from XR technology. XR Extended Reality not only covers the spectrum between full reality and full unreal, but also allows these technologies to be collectively referred to as a content range. Simply put, Extended Reality (XR) is the intersection of VR/AR/MR.
2022 Spring Festival Gala: 720 degree ring screen + ???

And this year's explosive meta-universe, will it join the Spring Festival Gala camp according to everyone's expectations? We'll see!
