Dazzling high-tech world with futuristic gadgets

LATEST technologies packed in solar-power backpacks, smart dustbins, eye-tracking VR and 3D facial modeling by a smartphone camera took the spotlight at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai yesterday.

The integration of technologies like 5G, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, new energy and virtual reality has propelled consumers into a connected and smart society, industry officials said at the event which opened yesterday in Shanghai.

Solar-power backpacks, which can charge smartphones and computers, drew visitors to Hanergy booth at the event. Their products, including portable chargers, can charge themselves in most conditions such as cloudy days or low temperature environments.

The products offer users unlimited power supply and ease “concerns” about batteries running out of power in the digital society, Hanergy said.

Mobile technology and IoT can help developers build “diversified applications” to improve daily life, covering energy, health care and urban management, said Zhao Houlin, secretary general of International Telecommunication Union.

Vivo is showing new 3D facial information capture technology that lets visitors get 3D files of their faces which can be printed by a 3D printer.

Vivo, one of top five global smartphone vendors, said the new technology will be used in education, medical and lifestyle sectors. It has discussed with Tencent to use facial technology on WeChat payment authorization, which will be the first in its kind among domestic smartphone brands.

More than 60,000 visitors from 100 countries and regions are attending the three-day event, which is themed Discover a Better Future to show how mobile is connecting everything to a better future.
