Night Tour of Taihe Lake Mini Program

The Taihe Lake night tour AR mini program uses augmented reality technology to blend virtual and reality, guiding users on a magical journey through Taihe Lake. From glowing rice fish to ancient boats, and even NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang's cosmic journey, this experience brings Qingtian culture into the metaverse.

Project Overview

For Qingtian government and Chance 3D agency, we developed the first immersive mini program that deeply integrates XR technology with cultural tourism experiences. Users can explore the night scenery of Taihe Lake and experience virtual-reality combined scenes - from glowing rice fish, ancient grasshopper boats, to giant auspicious cranes and Qingtian's characteristic figure Jensen Huang's cosmic journey, creating a unique cultural immersion.

Role Division: The cultural narrative and experience design were created by Chance 3D agency. Hyperyond architected the technical systems — XR platform infrastructure, multi-platform deployment engineering, and real-time rendering optimization.
