The People’s Republic of China (PRC) celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s history. To commemorate this occasion, China Global Television Network (CGTN) is set to launch an innovative interactive experience titled “The Gateway of Time.”
This cutting-edge AR (Augmented Reality) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) product will allow users to visualize Chinese people’s homes from three distinct periods of the PRC. Through this immersive journey, participants can explore how living conditions were in the early years of the PRC, witness the transformative impact of the reform and opening-up policies in the subsequent decades, and experience what living in a Chinese home feels like today.
“The Gateway of Time” offers a unique opportunity to delve into the evolution of Chinese society over the past 75 years. By stepping into virtual homes from different eras, users can gain insights into the daily lives, traditions, and advancements that have shaped modern China.
As a prelude to this historical journey, CGTN has also introduced a short quiz that tests knowledge on life in China during the early years of the PRC. This engaging activity serves to prepare participants for the immersive experience ahead, enhancing their appreciation of China’s rich history.
The launch of “The Gateway of Time” reflects CGTN’s commitment to leveraging technology to bring historical narratives to a global audience. It provides an accessible platform for individuals worldwide—from scholars and researchers to cultural enthusiasts and the Asian diaspora—to connect with China’s dynamic past and present.
