The signature pavilion “Future of Life” is produced by ISHIGURO Hiroshi, one of Japan's foremost roboticists. Here, as imagined by many different companies and creators, are societies, products, and the position of Japanese culture fifty years from now; the shape of life a millennium in the future; and all sorts of robots and androids to encounter, ensuring your own "Future of Life" can expand.
In the Avatar Rideshare Tour, a robot becomes your avatar, exploring the pavilion, offering you a unique perspective on the "Future of Life." What kind of future will you see through its eyes…?
