  Taipei Case Pavilion

  Taipei will invite visitors to the 2010 Shanghai World Expo to enjoy the virtual experience of taking the high-speed elevator of the Taipei 101 Tower in its pavilion in the Urban Best Practices Area.

  Located in the Puxi section of the Expo site, the 750-square-meter Taipei pavilion will allow visitors to have a bird’s-eye view of both present and future sights of the city and feel the sensation of a high-speed ride to the top of the one of the world’s tallest buildings via virtual reality technology.

  The pavilion is divided into several areas, including a huge three-dimensional theater where visitors can have a virtual tour of “tomorrow’s Taipei” via short movies and light-and-sound shows.

  The pavilion will also stage two exhibitions. In the “wireless-city” exhibition, Taipei will show how it built up a wireless network that lets people attend to day-to-day tasks via the Internet. The other exhibition will introduce Taiwan’s garbage system which aims at a complete recycling of resources to realize “zero burial of garbage.”
