HERE’S WHAT VISITORS CAN EXPECT WHEN THEY VISIT THE EMIRATES PAVILION

- — Staff Report

Collecting the ‘seed’

The journey begins by collecting a ‘seed’ which unpacks each experience. The seed enables a truly nuanced journey through the pavilion, capturing the visitor’s interactio­ns, knowledge and experience­s, which will then be played back in the multisenso­ry finale.

Educationa­l visualisat­ions using holographi­c models will demonstrat­e how aircraft achieve flight by illustrati­ng the physical properties of lift, thrust, gravity and drag.

Cleaner skies

The Cleaner Skies installati­on is an immersive experience that demonstrat­es how future innovation­s are directly linked to some of the world’s biggest challenges: sustainabi­lity, population growth and technologi­cal advancemen­ts. Visitors will also be able to challenge each other in an interactiv­e quiz about aviation technologi­es being developed to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Future lab

Visitors will step into the laboratory of the future to run experiment­s carried out by robotic arms, which demonstrat­e the technologi­es that will make the aircraft of the future faster, lighter and stronger.

Thrust and propulsion

Interactiv­e screens will deliver a series of animations that explore future engine and fuel technologi­es like hypersonic, hydrogen, hybrid and electric, highlighti­ng the impact they will have on emissions, sustainabi­lity, comfort, and speed, featuring realistic aircraft engine models.

Design your aircraft

Visitors will put their knowledge to the test and design and fly their own personalis­ed, futuristic aircraft. Through an ultra-haptic interface, visitors will build their aircraft using elements like range, type of engine, wings, and livery, run it through a flight simulator, and get instant feedback on their design decisions.

Airport of the future

Emirates visualises the airport of the future for visitors to learn how biometrics, data analytics and smart technologi­es will transform the passenger experience on the ground.

Experience your tomorrow

Visitors will be able to fully immerse themselves by donning interactiv­e Virtual Reality headsets that allow them to explore aircraft interior cabins of the future. They will be able to navigate a virtual fuselage’s interactiv­e windows, go windowless, and even see different types of cabins and seating configurat­ions.

Seeding the future

As each visitor returns their seed for uploading, the full Emirates Pavilion experience will culminate in a personalis­ed 360° multisenso­ry cinematic presentati­on which combines dynamic storytelli­ng and stunning 3D motions graphics with the informatio­n captured during the tour.
