SAIC-GM Pavilion Show and Experience Highlights

•The pavilion will be divided into Pre-Show, Main Show and Post-Show areas. In the Pre-Show area, visitors will learn about urban transformation and the automobile's development over the past 20 years and take a look 20 years into the future at the challenges and solutions envisioned by SAIC and GM. In the Main Show area, visitors will sit in unique motion seats to view a movie projected on a 38-meter surround screen. They will see and feel the infinite possibilities that the motor vehicle will offer in the year 2030 and how it will bring people closer together. This will lead to an even bigger surprise at the end when all of the virtual vehicles come alive on stage. In the Post-Show area, visitors will get to see up close the concept cars displayed in the movie. The area will have eight sections: welcome corridor, traffic hub, satellite city, central business district, apartment life, window to the future, future outlook, and souvenir sales.

•The theme of the movie, "Freedom of Mobility Brings People Closer Together", is the story of "Xing" – or a new form of personal mobility – in the city of Shanghai in the year 2030. It tells how the automobile of the future will change our lives.

•The theater's 144-degree curved elevation movable screen will be 6.5 meters high and 38 meters long.

•Automatic seat sensor technology is being use for the first time in China in the motion seats in the theater. The maximum tilt angle of these specially developed seats will be 29 degrees and the maximum speed will be 15 degrees per second. With the aid of precise computer controls, the matching time between the motion seats and the movie will be as precise as a millisecond. Through the tilting and vibration of the seats, the audience will physically interact with the movie.

•The main movie was filmed with a 4K high-definition RED camera. The CG effects were done by PIXOMONDO, of the movie "2012". Post-production and integration were done by PPS, led by Hong Kong movie master See-Yuen Ng. The lighting effects were done by the DI engineering team, which also worked on the "Harry Potter" movie series. The theme song and score were written by Hong Kong Film Award winner Kong Wing Chan.

•C.T. Cao supervised the movie's creation, Kuang Shen was the movie's director, and Zhou Huajian participated in the movie and the creation of its theme song.
