A large, highly immersive adventure experience titled Mysterious Western Xia Mausoleums deeply explores the Western Xia Dynasty (1038-1227) and its mysterious underground palace. Relying on spatial computing power and real-time rendering technology, it allows users to explore the fantastical underground palace of the Western Xia Mausoleums from a first-person perspective.
Moreover, through high-precision virtual reality and cutting-edge LBE (location-based entertainment) technology, it breaks through the limitations of traditional VR, making the audience feel as if they are at the foot of Helan Mountains in Ningxia, walking through the underground palace chambers, exploring the historical secrets of the Western Xia Mausoleums, and experiencing the glory and mystery of the Western Xia Dynasty.
