The Immersive Art Experience at the World Economic Forum
AMNC26, Dalian, June 2026. Three world-class artists, one spatial computing engine, one custom-built native application. Augmento powered the art exhibition at Summer Davos, delivering flawless real-scale AR for 1,800+ global leaders in a head-of-state environment.
Passive viewing is dead. In Dalian, the artwork moved, responded, and unfolded around every visitor.

Three Visions, One Shared Reality
Foshan Tales, Liquid Universe Portal, and MOMENTUM rendered in real time on the exhibition floor.
What We Built
Three vastly different artistic visions, all powered by a single unified spatial computing engine.
Foshan Tales
A large-scale glass and steel installation turned into a digital gateway. Visitors scan the physical structure and uncover the stories behind four stained-glass mosaics: the Chinese Tea Ceremony, Cantonese Opera, the Dragon Boat Race, and the Lion Dance. Digital assets lock seamlessly onto the real structure, so past and present coexist.
Liquid Universe Portal
A massive fluid 3D sculpture tracked flawlessly in the center of the room. Inspired by Zhuangzi's butterfly dream, liquid crystal textures solidify into mineral states and dissolve again in constant transformation. A boundless environment that makes visitors question where reality begins.
MOMENTUM
A living digital landscape inspired by the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse. Algorithmically generated FLORIS florals grow and evolve, wild horses rear in tall grass, lanterns float, and butterflies gather around participants. Visitors choose elements and place them into the world: they are co-creators, not spectators.
The Visitor Experience
One tap and the room transforms. Guided sessions, zero friction, total immersion.
- Guided Hub sessions with 20 synchronized iPads distributed at once. Heavy real-time 3D rendered simultaneously for the whole group, without lag.
- A frictionless bilingual toggle switches the entire narrative interface between English and Chinese for a truly global audience.
- A one-tap START AR EXPERIENCE trigger launches spatial immersion directly over the physical space. Expandable modules dive deeper into each artist and story.

The Outcome
Proof at the highest-profile stage in global events.
Delivered at Head-of-State Level
Flawless execution for 1,800+ global leaders from business, government, and academia in a security-controlled environment where nothing is allowed to fail.
Three Visions, One Engine
Heritage storytelling, fluid digital sculpture, and an interactive living landscape all ran on the same unified Augmento engine. This is a platform, not a one-off build.
Viewers Became Participants
Shared sessions across 20 synchronized devices turned passive attendees into active explorers and co-creators. Dead dwell time became the most talked-about room at the event.
