As part of their personalised journey, visitors can have a conversation with a digital librarian in a futuristic phone booth. There will also be a floor-to-ceiling multi-sensory space, where they can view a video created based on their responses to various interactive elements through the experience.
“You’ll be able to see a big surprise at the end, a video trailer of yourself, where you are the star of your own future,” Mr Tan said.
The experience is powered by generative AI, trained on data sets from more than 100 partners across the public, private and people sectors.
When booking tickets, visitors may upload a photo to generate a personalised avatar, which will be used when they visit the showcase, or select one from a curated library.
Mr Tan said the team takes data privacy seriously and will not retain any personal information collected during the experience.
NLB chief executive Ng Cher Pong said the exhibition offers a “glimpse into what the future in Singapore could hold”.
“Our hope is that this experience inspires optimism and confidence in Singaporeans as we look ahead to the next 60 years and beyond,” he said.
The showcase is recommended for visitors aged seven and above and will run from Aug 26 to Dec 31. The non-ticketed installations will be open daily from 9am to 10pm.
Admission to the ticketed experience is also free and available on a first-come, first-served basis via www.heartandsoul.gov.sg.
