The French corner also features a smart helmet with GPS and a display.

Long before innovation enhanced the digital realm to make life simpler, boost interaction and decode secrets of the universe, art encouraged human beings to get creative, in order to communicate emotions and leave a legacy. Today technology has come to a point where AI can paint, art can be marketed as digital tokens and 3D printing is being used for replicating an iconic sculpture, to preserve the original.

After hosting the first art exhibition post-lockdown with the audience present at the venue, Dubai is welcoming robo-calligraphers and AI poets at Expo 2020 pavilions. To keep its legacy of creativity as well as revolutionary ideas alive, France is showing off a digital version of the legendary painting Mona Lisa, which offers more than just a smile.

Designed to make people explore the meaning of life, the painting even winks and frowns, simply based on her mood. The artwork that can express emotions is just one among several solutions being showcased at the French pavilion.

In the age of smart mobility, visitors also get to check out a helmet which is equipped with GPS for better navigation and a heads up display in front. The EyeLights helmet not only makes sure that bikers can follow maps without being distracted, but also plays songs or makes calls hands-free.

So far over 10,000 riders have been able to benefit from the smart safety gear, which is followed by an open-ear audio device which relies on air waves. The ear remains safe and comfortable as the buds don't go inside, but instead sound is carried by the air directly to electric waves deep inside.

Next on the line up is an indoor garden, where AI simulates the effect of sunlight and tracks the plants, to regulate water supply. If that's not enough, the pavilion is also flaunting a robotic toothbrush, designed for deep cleaning with sonic vibrations through flexible filaments.
