The Japan Pavilion at the world exposition to be held in Dubai from next month is set to use digital technology to give people from around the world a virtual tour of the exhibit.
The pavilion will convey the attractiveness of Japan to visitors from all over the world by allowing them to experience the country's history and technology, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said, as Japan hopes to boost excitement for the 2025 World Expo in Osaka.
In addition to opening two special websites to serve as a "Virtual Japan Pavilion," the country will allow people to use remotely controlled avatar robots to participate in some events at the pavilion.
