China's Smart Glasses & Augmented Reality | A China Icons video with Hypertrypsy
Forget Pokemon Go - this augmented reality from China is the real deal.
We are SO excited to be joined by Shiv, the tech and travel blogger behind US website Hypertrypsy.
Shiv joined us in Beijing to go behind the scenes of one of China's most exciting tech start ups - Alto Tech.
Run by CEO Andy Ye, Alto Tech is the company behind Cool Glass, a head mounted computer device on the market in China for a fraction of the cost of ones elsewhere.
Andy cut his tech teeth at Nokia. The demise of that company taught him to innovate or die. Two and a half years later, Cool Glass were born. Its functions including messaging, calling, taking videos and pictures, using Chinese social media apps and navigation.
Naturally, Shiv couldn't wait to try the glasses out for himself!
Find out how he got on when he borrowed them for a day trip to China's unmissable Great Wall.

Tourist terrified by new glass walkway that cracks under weight
A video of a tourist guide terrified by the sight of a bridge’s glass bottom cracking has gone viral recently in East Taihang Mountains, in Handan city, north China's Hebei Province. The glass skywalk hangs 1,180 meters above a valley and stretches 266 meters in length. Just for fun, shattering glass is added as a special effect to give the already-terrifying experience extra zing. The management assured that workers check the glass panels daily to ensure the safety of visitors.

Beijing sees new hairpin fashion blossom on city streets
Wearable flowers, or sprouts, are becoming all the rage on the streets of Beijing.
Glass-bottomed skywalk,Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai.
Shanghai . . the Oriental Pearl Tower .The Oriental Pearl Tower is no longer the tallest structure in Shanghai. It was surpassed by the Shanghai World Financial Center in 2007.
The Oriental Pearl Tower consists of 3 main whole-scope sightseeing spheres. Visitors can enjoy the dynamic city view at different heights as there are observation decks in each of these 3 spheres. The highest sphere is at 350 meters above sea level, and is called the Space Module. We gave up trying to get to this sphere because of the long queue.
The second sphere is located at 259 to 267 meters above the ground. It has 3 levels. The top one is a revolving restaurant which is the highest revolving restaurant in Asia at 267 meters above sea level. We had buffet lunch here. The lower 2 levels are viewing platforms. From the main sightseeing floor at 263 meters above sea level we descended to 259 meters above sea level in an elevator. Here there is a glass bottomed sightseeing floor where visitors can look down at the Huangpu River and keep the beautiful scenery of both sides of Huangpu River in view. The experience is like standing on air above the Shanghai city. My legs were petrified. I was scared to move.
Cities Through Google Glass: Beijing
See my Tumblr post about this video:
The French version of this video has been awarded for BEST SHORT FILM UNDER 5 MINS at the Youth Contest 2014 (Concours Jeunesse 2014) held by the French Embassy in China.
Well... I lied in the title. I do not own a 1500$ Google Glass. So the whole video, shot with an uncool camera, is just a fantasy of a geeky Google Glass enthusiast. Sorry for dragging you in, but take my words, you really won't want to miss my version of this futuristic wearable device. Sit back and enjoy the next-gen tech!

Yanqi Lake – Beijing, China
The Yanqi Lake in Beijing, China is a picture of serenity with great vistas of waterscape and landscape. An increasingly popular choice for locals and tourists alike, the Yanqi Lake was chosen as the location for the Belt and Road Forum 2017, an initiative that promotes closer economic cooperation and connectivity among countries from around the world. Encircled by the mountains of Jundu, Hongluo and Jingdeng it is a wonder to behold during the daytime, but its beauty is dulled by the darkness during the night. However, that is now history as OSRAM Lighting Solutions breathes new life to the nighttime scenery.
Following the exceptional success and record-breaking attempt with the Wuhan Two Rivers and Four Banks light installation, OSRAM Lighting Solutions rose to face the challenge of Yanqi Lake. The environment around Yanqi Lake naturally generates harsh conditions, making this project extremely difficult. With tropical storms and snow likely occurrences, the survival of outdoor electronic equipment is slim and so it was required that the solution be robust, reliable and capable. The OSRAM OLUX® LED Flood Light 150W RGBW was selected because it can withstand the elements, come rain, snow or shine. Controlled by over 400 e:cue Butler S2, the resulting light display is akin to that of a traditional Chinese landscape painting, highlighting the natural beauty of the lake and the surrounding area. The color-changing display creates a mesmerizing and dynamic swathe of light that washes over the lake and mountains like shimmering brushstrokes in the night.
The wondrous light installation even uses the mountains themselves as a canvas, creating the effect of an invisible brush dancing to the rhythm of nature and highlighting all its glory. As the landscape lights up, the view serves to remind spectators of the past, the technology shows what’s possible in the present and together they can act as an inspiration for what the future may hold.
By integrating state-of-the-art innovations with the natural environment of Yanqi Lake, OSRAM Lighting Solutions was able to create a painting made of light, underlining the incredible beauty of China’s landscape while simulating traditional Chinese art. The success of this project shows once again that for OSRAM Lighting Solutions, the impossible is just an obstacle to overcome. Our vast experiences, knowledge and determination to keep striding forward and reach greater heights made this stunning amalgamation of nature and technology a solid and bright reality.
