At the same time, the video short film "2022 Chronicles of China's Glasses Industry", which was released for the first time, showcases the eyewear industry's striving, vigorous, and passionate 2022.
The "Future Vision" themed device is constantly eye-catching. For the first time, this exhibition has set up a themed art installation at the entrance of the North Square, simulating the light and shadow effects of different "visual" realms through light refraction, and interpreting the "future" through unique technological color language. At the same time, there are also numerous check-in points at the exhibition site, such as the "Vision Tunnel" light and shadow exhibition and free coffee, providing visitors with a more diverse viewing perspective.
Vision Tunnel Light and Shadow Exhibition - showcases the historical events of China's eyewear industry in chronological order on both sides of the Shikong Tunnel. The blue light source at the bottom illuminates the starry sky pattern at the top, rendering the effect of dense starry sky. Strolling through it, it feels like being in a galactic tunnel, giving people an immersive experience.
Product Display Area - As a product display area that takes on the vision tunnel, square and circular elements are extracted from glasses for design. The layout resembles a "planet" and is composed of the main "planet" and "satellite". The ground is fused with lenses and space orbit; The square frame of the main planet is hung with a Crystal ball, and the products can be displayed inside. The staggered display columns on the circular platform give a more layered feel, and the embellishments of green plants make it more lively: the interplay between the satellite and the main planet makes the overall display more vivid.
Glasses Experience Hall - including 5 scene areas and Bulletin board. We differentiate by using different types of glasses in different scenarios, and include display cabinets and eyewear crowd guide cards in the scenes. Participants of different age groups and professions will search for cards that can resonate emotionally in conceptual real-life scenarios, and then write down their insights and stories about themselves and glasses and post them on the message board.
Youth Eye Protection Zone - There are coffee bars, tents, rest areas, and outdoor cinemas in the campsite. The cinema will play a theme projection of youth eye protection, promote eye care knowledge to attendees, and guide teenagers to "put down their phones, get close to nature, and give their eyes a break".
Hold the first online trade fair. In order to boost China's glasses industry to explore the international market, this exhibition held the first overseas online trade matchmaking meeting in Hall 3, 3T46, at the same time. Through the mobile Internet plus+digital technology+video display form, offline resources were channeled online, realizing the advancement of foreign trade exchanges from "face-to-face" to "screen to screen", and opening up new channels for communication between domestic and foreign enterprises.

The dazzling display of new products and achievements on site, an unprecedentedly strong lineup of exhibitors, and a bustling atmosphere of business negotiations all demonstrate the indispensable significant influence of the China (Shanghai) International Glasses Industry Exhibition in the global glasses industry.
