# Expo 2025 Osaka

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 'Designing Future Society for Our Lives' 매 Yumeshima island, Osaka"**. 매 2025-04-13 ~ 10-13. 매 BIE 등록 — 매 World Expo. 매 highlight: 매 Grand Ring (largest wooden structure), 매 flying car demo, 매 immersive pavilion, 매 AI / robotics. 매 attendance ~28M.

## 매 핵심

### 매 basics
- **Theme**: Designing Future Society for Our Lives.
- **Sub-themes**: Saving Lives, Empowering Lives, Connecting Lives.
- **Location**: Yumeshima, Osaka.
- **Period**: 2025-04-13 to 2025-10-13.
- **Participants**: 158 countries + 7 international orgs.

### 매 architecture
- **Grand Ring** (Sou Fujimoto): 매 largest wooden structure ever (2km 둘레).
- **Pavilion**: 매 each country / sponsor.
- **Signature pavilions** (8): 매 Japanese expert curated.

### 매 tech showcase
- **Flying cars** (eVTOL demo).
- **Avatar robots**.
- **AI translation** (real-time multi-lingual).
- **Sustainable construction** (timber).
- **AR / VR experiences**.
- **IoT cashless**.

### 매 응용 (lessons for tech)
1. **Immersive media** design.
2. **AR / VR** at scale.
3. **Multilingual UX**.
4. **Sustainable infra**.
5. **Crowd flow** (computer vision).
6. **Cashless / digital ID**.

## 💻 패턴 (응용 lessons)

### Multilingual real-time translation
```python
def realtime_translate(audio_stream, target_lang):
    """매 Expo-style booth interaction."""
    transcript = whisper.transcribe(audio_stream)
    translated = translate(transcript, target_lang)
    tts = synthesize(translated, target_lang)
    return tts
```

### Crowd flow ML
```python
def predict_pavilion_wait(historical, weather, time_of_day):
    """매 wait time prediction."""
    features = encode([historical, weather, time_of_day])
    return wait_time_model.predict(features)
```

### Cashless venue (digital ID)
```typescript
class ExpoPay {
    async pay(amount: number, vendor: string) {
        const token = await getDigitalIDToken();
        return fetch('/pay', { method: 'POST', headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` }, body: JSON.stringify({ amount, vendor }) });
    }
}
```

### AR pavilion experience
```javascript
import { ARSession } from '@react-three/xr';

function PavilionAR() {
    return (
        <ARSession>
            <ambientLight intensity={0.5} />
            <Scene model="pavilion-content.glb" />
            <Hotspot position={[0, 1, -2]} info="Future city design" />
        </ARSession>
    );
}
```

### Sustainable timber engineering (Grand Ring)
```python
# 매 wood vs concrete CO2
def co2_footprint(material, mass_kg):
    factors = {'concrete': 0.1, 'steel': 1.85, 'cross_laminated_timber': -1.0}  # 매 CLT 의 carbon sink
    return mass_kg * factors[material]
```

### Visitor flow heatmap
```python
def crowd_density(camera_feed):
    """매 head detection + heatmap."""
    heads = detect_heads(camera_feed)
    H, W = camera_feed.shape[:2]
    density = np.zeros((H, W))
    for h in heads:
        density[h.y, h.x] += 1
    return gaussian_filter(density, sigma=10)
```

### Real-time queue management
```python
def dynamic_queue(pavilion, current_wait):
    if current_wait > 90:
        suggest_alternatives(pavilion.theme)
        offer_virtual_queue()
    elif current_wait > 60:
        recommend_off_peak()
    return current_wait
```

### Avatar telepresence
```python
class TelepresenceAvatar:
    """매 remote operator → 매 robot guide."""
    def __init__(self, robot):
        self.robot = robot
    
    def operate(self, operator_video, operator_audio):
        self.robot.face_display.show(operator_video)
        self.robot.speakers.play(operator_audio)
        self.robot.move(operator_command)
```

## 매 결정 기준 (응용)
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Tourist tech showcase | Immersive AR/VR |
| Multilingual venue | Real-time translation |
| Large crowd | CV flow + dynamic queue |
| Sustainable build | Timber structural |
| Payments | Digital ID + cashless |

**기본값**: 매 Expo lessons → 매 immersive + multilingual + crowd-aware + sustainable.
