A parallel universe of reality and fiction: Taoyuan Xpark

A technological aquarium that subverts imagination When Hisaishi's music meets deep-sea fluorescence, you fall into the blue dream of a parallel planet in the city center Subverting tradition: an immersive revolution of technology and ecology The biological theater of light and shadow art The moment you step into Xpark, your perception of traditional aquariums is completely disintegrated: Formosa Aquarium: In front of the giant viewing window of 4 stories high, thousands of silver-scaled pomfret are circling like a silver storm, hammerhead sharks and smiling stingrays shuttle in the soundtrack of Hisaishi's "Deep Sea Epic", and the ripples formed by sunlight penetrating the water flow on the ground, and the audience seems to be suspended between the tides of the Taiwan Strait. The Japanese NAKED team transformed "Yujian Jellyfish" into a four-season fantasy - cherry blossom pink, maple leaf orange, and aurora blue light and shadow are projected on the mirror space, and moon jellyfish float like stars. With the interactive sound effects generated by AI, visitors can wave their hands to disturb the trajectory of the virtual jellyfish group. Virtual-Real Interaction Area: The fluorescent octopus drawn by the child jumps into the AR ocean and swims with real fish on the 10-meter giant screen; in the "Deep Sea Secrets" exhibition tank squatting in the corner, the shadows of the giant crab's limbs expand and contract with the sensor light, blurring the boundary between virtual and real. Xpark refuses animal performances, but reshapes the educational significance with "behavior display": Penguin aerial ballet: Magellanic penguins on the second floor dive into the transparent slide above their heads, suddenly dive to the sink of Xcafe on the first floor, and draw an arc above the customer's latte cup. Each penguin is equipped with a personality name tag: "Yongqi" loves diving, "Komachi" prefers to cruise in circles. Immersive theater of freezing in the cold zone: In the simulated snow fog at -5℃, the harbor seal travels through a 360-degree tunnel, and visitors can see its abdominal muscles contracting when swimming; the side wall screen simultaneously explains how the evolution of flippers adapts to low temperatures. The price of high-density experience The art of space compression: 13 exhibition areas are concentrated in 4500 pings, the coral diving area uses 270-degree circular screen projection to extend the visual depth, and the virtual corals on the floor bloom with footsteps. However, the holiday crowds make the "Jellyfish Kaleidoscope" need to queue for 20 minutes, and Internet celebrities take the best camera positions. The trade-offs of ecological education: After-field adventure (additional purchase of 150 yuan) can touch horseshoe crabs and starfish, but the intertidal beach requires additional payment, which has caused controversy; the "Have Fun Together" performance adjusts the content according to the state of the animals, and although it guarantees welfare, it causes tourists to regret it. Xpark's ambition is not only to display creatures, but also to try to build a "real parallel universe": "When technology becomes the new sea water, we are both whale watchers and fish in the tank." The sensory revelation worth a special pilgrimage Xpark is not a traditional aquarium - it is a deep-sea theater woven with 8K projection, AR interaction and behavioral science. Although we need to tolerate holiday crowds and commercial premiums, when tens of thousands of silver pomfret surge into the Milky Way in Joe Hisaishi's piano music, and when the fluorescent tentacles of jellyfish pass through the pupils of our own eyes in the mirror, the shock of the soul leaving our body is enough to redefine the relationship between humans and the ocean. Remember before departure: Close your eyes and listen to the sound of Formosa's waves, where there is a love letter from an island to the ocean. *🌊#桃园之旅 #水潭デート
