From Lunar New Year’s Eve till Feb. 20, Wutiaogang Ansi Temple will be holding the “Ansi Temple Metaverse: AR Tiger Lantern Festival” at the square in front of the Ansi Temple in Wutiaogang, Yunlin County.
This innovative and engaging event was designed by Hsieh Shun-fu, the eldest son of the legendary comedian Chu Ke-liang, and team members of Light Generation Technology. Inspired by the hottest trend in 2022, the team developed a series of unique and fascinating AR experiences. Visitors can use their mobile phones to scan the codes and enjoy different examples of interactive augmented reality, such as watching lanterns, getting their hands on treasure and gold, receiving blessings from Wang Ye (royal lord), swimming with fish in a large aquarium and getting gold from iridescent phoenixes flying around the square.
Ansi Temple would like to remind all visitors to follow the pandemic guidelines during Lunar New Year while they enjoy the mind-blowing experience of outdoor augmented reality. The temple invites visitors to Yunlin County to explore the magic of the metaverse and embrace the inner strength of a tiger in the 2022 Lunar New Year.
