The Museum of the Future opened in Dubai on February 22, 2022. At the Museum of the Future, we can experience the world of 2071. Please enjoy. The Museum of the Future is located in the financial district in the heart of Dubai. Before entering the Museum of the Future, I would like to introduce its appearance, structure, and access. The Museum of the Future is a 77m (225ft) high, 7-story building. The black parts are windows and are engraved with Arabic letters. The Arabic letters are engraved with the three words of the President and Prime Minister of the UAE. As we will go to later, there is an observation deck on the second floor. The outside is covered with 1024 panels made of stainless steel and fiberglass. The Museum of the Future is a 10-minute walk from the Dubai Metro Jumeirah Emirates Towers Station (direct access from the station). Alternatively, it is a 20-minute drive from Dubai International Airport. There are three entrances to the Museum of the Future, and this is the entrance on the road side. There is a ticket counter near the roadside entrance. The second entrance is on the side of the Jumeirah Emirates Towers hotel (on the other side of the road). If we look at it from here, the Museum of the Future is on top of a green hill. The Museum of the Future is said to be "the most beautiful building in the world,'' and its exterior is very impressive. It is difficult to reserve tickets, and it is a very popular tourist spot in Dubai. Enter from the hotel side entrance. When we go inside... Vast lobby and atrium. A refreshing space based on white. This is the ground floor of the building. We visited after 3pm, and there was quite a waiting line. Light from outside is coming in through the window with Arabic letters. There are 3 elevators (drop pods) that give us a feeling of the near future. We"ll ride last. Three words of the President and Prime Minister of the UAE inscribed in Arabic letters. One of them is impressive. "We may not live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone." This is the ticket counter. General tickets are 149 AED (40.5 USD) for adults. Specify the date and time in advance. In addition, the Pioneer Pass is 399 AED (108.6 USD). Specify only the date in advance. Free Wi-Fi service is available in the building. We will enter with a Pioneer Pass 399 AED that I purchased online in advance. I presented my ticket and received a wristband. The Pioneer Pass is date-specific and allows us to enter at any time. It is difficult to reserve tickets, so I recommend making reservations online at least one month in advance. It takes 90 to 120 minutes to visit the Museum of the Future. The tour starts from here. People's auras are reflected on the screen. The first chapter of the tour is space exploration. We will now go to Orbital Space Station (OSS) Hope. An AI named Aya appears. We are now going to the world of 2071, which is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the UAE. I'm excited to see what happens next. Next, board the space shuttle (elevator). There are a lot of people there. It's like an attraction. There are windows on the ceiling and on the left and right walls. Departure. Dubai in 2071 is projected outside the window. The altitude of the space shuttle increases. Already above the clouds. The blue earth is below. The stars are beautiful. The inside of the space shuttle is lively. We can see the stars from the windows on the ceiling, and it's well designed. I saw something outside the window. This is Orbital Space Station Hope. The orbital space station Hope is displayed in 3D, giving it a realistic feel. Furthermore, the BGM livens up the atmosphere. Finally, it's time to head to Orbital Space Station Hope. That's an amazing image. Arrival. Orbital Space Station Hope is located on the 5th floor of the Museum of the Future. What we can see in front is the moon viewing window. This Orbital Space Station Hope is located in space 600km above the Earth's surface. An AI named Aya appears here as well. Go to the next location. A 3D model of the Orbiting Space Station Hope is on display. On this floor we will experience what life in space is like. The experience is said to be aimed at highlighting the potential for future human space travel. The screen shows how the Orbital Space Station Hope was created. This is also a realistic 3D video. Orbital Space Station Hope is currently accepting applications. Next is the command room of the Orbital Space Station Hope. Here we explore the missions carried out by the station and monitor projects. The projector shows what the Earth will look like in 2071. This place is called Monument to the Pioneers. Monitors carry out space exploration missions such as Mars exploration and monitor projects. This is the Testing room. Are they conducting various tests for space exploration? I think the content is difficult, but the people around me are watching it with great enthusiasm. This is Pioneer Application Stations. By scanning our face into the device, we can create an avatar wearing a spacesuit. Avatars of people who visited the Museum of the Future are displayed. This concludes the Orbital Space Station Hope area on the 5th floor. Get on the elevator. We will return to Earth from the Orbital Space Station Hope, 600km above the Earth. We can also enjoy 3D realistic images here. The state of Dubai in 2071 is displayed again. It looks like there will be more artificial islands in 2071 than there are in current Dubai. Return to the spaceship launch site. It's a fun experience. Next, move on to the floor of Chapter 2. "Humankind on earth, while proud of our national identity and history, resolve to transcend past divisions and carve out a common destiny." Chapter 2 is The HEAL institute. Move from the 5th floor to the 4th floor. Floor map of the 4th floor. Let's take a look at The HEAL institute on the 4th floor. This place is called "The Window". The Window shows the city of Dubai in 2071. Dubai will continue to develop. Next up is "The Garden". The Garden is said to be a facility for research in ecology. At HEAL (the name of the institute), scientists are working to restore Earth's nature with the help of AI and biodesign. HEAL has four parts. The Forest is a digital model of a tragically destroyed rainforest in 2040. A recreation of Colombia's Amazon rainforest in 2020 is predicted to collapse by 2040 due to deforestation and climate change. A monitor shows the Colombian Amazon rainforest. This is an area that will make us think about environmental issues, as it will collapse in 2040. Next to The Forest is an area called The Library. Next to The Library is an area called The Lab. Furthermore, there is an area called The Obsevatory. I will explain it from time to time. One of the popular areas of the Museum of the Future is "The Library". A spectacular sight. This "The Library" is gaining popularity as a photo spot. The Library is the"vault of life" where the genetic codes of thousands of species are stored. Animals such as reptiles and amphibians are stored here. Plants are stored here. It is said that most of the world's ecosystems will be destroyed in 2071, and they are said to be supplementing the genetic code of species in this way. The inside of The Library is like a maze. The inside of The Library is colorful and we can enjoy the changing colors. There were many people looking closely at this area. It was a great area. Next is an area called The Laboratory. The Laboratory is an ecosystem simulator that lets us know how new species affect the environment. There are two monitors on the left and right. When we touch the wristband... The tree will grow. Next is an area called The Observatory. The Observatory is a monitoring room that evaluates new species and tracks the work of laboratories around the world. There are two walls, the right wall monitors the effects of new species being released into the ecosystem. We can see new species growing inside the pods on the left wall. Forest ecosystem. Arctic ecosystem. Aquatic ecosystem. Grassland Ecosystem Swamp Ecosystem. Alpine ecosystem. Desert ecosystem. Here, they are monitoring the impact of releasing the new species inside the pod into the ecosystem. There are windows that allow us to see outside. Next we will go to Al Waha on the 3rd floor. Although it is a 7-story building, we can see it from the bottom to the top. Floor map. The 6th floor is a place only for the royal family, and the 7th floor is an event hall. WE can see the area called "Tomorrow, Today" on the second floor. Move from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor. Floor map of 3rd floor Al Waha. The atmosphere on the 3rd floor is different from before. Pink floors and walls. It's a space that women seem to like. By 2030, depression will overtake obesity as the world's biggest health risk. This remained unchanged for the next 40 years. Having media streaming on all the time can be exhausting, unhealthy, and not happy. The five human senses are the key to living a healthy and balanced life. The name of this floor, Al Waha, means "oasis" in Arabic. Guests can experience a variety of therapies on this floor. A sparkling space. The floor is a fluffy mat and is an area called Movement Therapy. The system is such that the image of the floor responds to our feet. This is the Feeling Therapy. The human hand is one of the most complex and beautiful pieces of natural engineering ever created. Raise our hand to the equipment in the room. Reconnect our mind and body by exploring the sensations in our hands. Next is Grounding Therapy . Digital devices stimulate a person's electromagnetic field and increase stress levels. Therefore, treatment is necessary. Within this space, deep sub-frequencies resonate with a large invisible gong, creating a therapeutic sound environment. Touching the healing vibrations here balances the body's electromagnetic field and restores natural rhythms. Next is the Connection Therapy. Human experience is shaped by our connections to the world around us. Technology has made us feel more alienated and we need new rituals for faster togetherness and connection. In this therapy, by sitting together and humming, we can experience the beauty of togetherness and connect with those around us. Next is Stillness Therapy. There is a lot of noise both inside and outside the human brain, and there are many tasks. Tranquility is needed to treat this. Immersing ourself in the tranquility here will improve our mental and health well-being. Hand-wash facilities. Different words are written in different languages. Is there a language you use? This completes the 3rd floor. Next, go to "Tomorrow, Today" on the 2nd floor. I'm looking forward to the 2nd floor. Floor map of the 2nd floor. There are toilets located throughout the building. Look out the window and see. When I look out the window, I feel as if I have suddenly returned to reality. "Tomorrow, Today'' on the 2nd floor is a floor that exhibits near-future technologies from innovators active around the world. What kind of technology is emerging? You'll be amazed at the near-future technology on display on the floor you're about to see. Zip lines and drones are suspended from above. We can clearly see the three elevators (drop pods) from here. I came down from the 5th floor to the 2nd floor, and I've already seen more than half of it. The most popular thing on the second floor is this human-shaped robot. The robot's name is Ameca. Humanoid robots have been featured in science fiction movies such as The Terminator and Big Hero 6. However, in reality, it is very difficult to create robots that can perform tasks that people can do. The robot's realistic expression is impressive. The robot can speak simple English. A large screen. A documentary is being broadcast. How will we live in space? Many things we use in everyday life, such as phones and cameras, come from research developed for space exploration Lunar Habitation. 3 exhibits. Something related to the base being built on the moon. The outer structural core of the base is inspired by the internal structure of bird bone. Hollow closed cell structure provides a combination of high strength and low weight. A full-fledged section of the dome structure created using a lunar regolith simulator, manufactured with a 3D printed model. A cut-away section of the completed lunar base shows the 3D printed dome structure and pressurized central living and working spaces within the airlock chamber. This is difficult content. How will we travel? A section focused on autonomous driving and transportation. Dubai is striving for 25% of all transportation to be autonomous by 2030. It is expected that the number of self-driving cars will increase in the future. There is a car and a monitor. This is Audi's future car. It has become a revolutionary self-driving car. Looks amazing. Reevo's world's first hubless electric bicycle. It comes with safety features like a fingerprint sensor to lock the wheel, and automatic lights. Volkswagen yellow car Sedric. It is equipped with five scanners, seven cameras and numerous sensors, making it a Level 5 fully autonomous vehicle. The electric cars of the future will be able to be charged wirelessly, and there will be wireless charging trucks called SMFIR under the road. How will we power the future? This area focuses on clean and renewable energy. Let's look at the monitor. Tidal energy comes from ocean energy that surges during the ebb and flow of the tide. Wave energy, on the other hand, captures the electric power of ocean waves generated by wind currents. However, this is not enough; global energy demand is set to increase by 25-30% by 2040. To decarbonize the planet, we need alternative and available clean fuels. One of the most effective ways to do this is green hydrogen (hydrogen produced without emitting CO2). This technology allows hydrogen to be extracted from water through a chemical process. This does not release pollutants into the atmosphere. In the future, we will not be able to drive a zero-emission car that does not emit harmful substances or greenhouse gases. This means that environmentally friendly vehicles will be preferred in the future. Airplane of the future. Future planes will rely on hydrogen for power and will not emit harmful gases. This is an important innovation for the aviation industry. Energy ring. EnergyRing is the world's largest biomass power plant located in China and can save up to nearly 80% of CO2. Wind catcher. Offshore wind farms are expensive to build and difficult to maintain. Wind catchers are much cheaper and can also produce renewable energy. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). Concentrated solar power (CSP) converts solar energy into electricity. The plant is expected to increase Dubai's share of clean energy. How will drones change our lives? Drone technology has the power to fundamentally change our lives. Drones could become as common as cars and trucks over the next decade. Drones will conquer the skies and be used for a variety of purposes, including agriculture, goods delivery, and security and surveillance. Pictures of an airplane. The drones of the future will be able to transport cargo to hospitals even more efficiently. The DJI drone of the future. It has modes for spraying crops, water, and pesticides, and is said to be more efficient than a tractor. I look forward to the future development of drones. Can robots learn from nature? This is an exhibition of robots. Xiaomi's Cyberdog robot. A four-legged robot that behaves like a real dog. It is equipped with various centers and GPS modules. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as investigating dangerous mines and providing remote access to doctors. Festo's hand robot with built-in artificial intelligence. There are many situations where you use your hands, and you can learn a variety of things. Festo's bioengineered robot called Ant. The movements of insects and some animals are similar, and bionic ants solve a variety of tasks. A robot called Hexa from Vincross. Hexa is a robot that can perform many actions such as walking, taking photos, providing security, and even dancing. A robot bird called Robard. A robot that learns and replicates bird flight to control bird populations in landfills, airports, farms, etc. Gravity instruments' flying suit. This suit can be used when going to work. This is an explanation of flying taxis. It has an all-electric jet that allows for vertical takeoff and landing. A suit that allows you to fly. Nowadays, I cannot imagine that such a time will ever come. How can we heal the earth? According to the United Nations, the past 10 years have been the warmest ever, and we need to stop global warming over the next 10 years. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Future technologies can capture and store carbon dioxide from the air. This is estimated to help with climate change. Roboat, the world's first fleet of autonomous floating vessels designed for the city of Amsterdam. Roboat is useful for waste collection and cargo transport on urban waterways. It is an object called MARS that functions as a habitat for coral reefs. It is estimated that 25% of coral reefs are disappearing due to global warming and ocean pollution, and we can help stop this. One-third of the plastic waste found in the ocean is made up of plastic bottles. Here, three products are on display as biodegradable materials aimed at replacing single-use plastic packaging. How can we hack our bodies? Display of mask, jacket, footwear, etc. Smart mask. Jacket made of 65% copper and resistant to viruses. The world's first underskin chip implant for contactless payments. 3D printed footwear with sensors that study your feet. Biological tissue structures are created using a special 3D printer.

Store all information about products and services. The exhibition floor on the 2nd floor has finally finished. It was difficult. We can access the observation deck from the 2nd floor. The observation deck is one of the popular areas within the Museum of the Future. I've been inside the building for a long time, but now I can finally get some fresh air. There are many people taking photos. The view of the Future Museum from the observation deck. Just in time for sunset. It looks spacious when we look at it up close. Jumeirah Emirates Towers can be seen in the foreground. I'm staying at that hotel. It's wider than I expected. A view from the road side. It's a wonderful building. The 1st floor is an area called "Future Heroes". I thought the heroes of the future were on display, but it was actually just a kids area. I'm sure many people will be disappointed. Kids T-shirt. Space goods. The entrance to "Future Heros" on the first floor is a shop. A large monument to Future Heroes. Models of the Museum of the Future, etc. There is a space where we can take a break. Space for children to play. It seems like a good place for families with children. Various booths. Exit "Future Heros" on the 1st floor. Take the elevator to the ground floor. Regarding the time required for the tour, I felt that it would take 60 to 90 minutes to take a quick look, and about 120 minutes if you wanted to take a closer look. There are cafe and shop on the ground floor, so let's take a look. Fully automatic perfumery. It is a robot that uses a unique algorithm to create scents to suit the individual's taste. A cafe called SALT. Chicken, burgers, popcorn, drinks, etc. are on sale. Delicious looking breads. The interior of the cafe is monochrome. It might be a good idea to go to a cafe before or after the tour. Next is the shop. Ballpoint pens with the Future Museum mark on it. Mugs, water bottles, notebooks. Keychains, magnets. Pencils. Tote bags, accessory cases, candles. Calligraphy sets. There are various goods, and I will want to buy something. This is…. A tabletop model of the pod on the 4th floor. The price is a whopping 21,000 AED (5,717 USD). Small coffee cups. Pens, books, coasters, trays, etc. Is the price relatively high? By the way, I bought a 3D model. 3D models are perfect for displaying at home. Pens, magnets, and keychains in a different color than before. The silver color is close to the real thing. There are many different colors. Accessories. The Future Museum also looks beautiful at night. There seems to be a special illumination depending on the day. The word MOTF appears, and it stands for Museum of the Future. Items in the shop can be purchased without a ticket. T-shirt corner. Parker corner. A few items other than those from the Future Museum are also on sale. This looks like a 3D model, but it's chocolate. Chocolate seems like a good souvenir. In the evening, a silver floating fish object appears. It seems to be there or not depending on the time of day. It's around 5:30 pm, but there are still a lot of people. When I go outside... The illumination of the Museum of the Future has begun. Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel is directly connected to the Museum of the Future. Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel is a great place to stay when visiting Museum of the Future. This is the hotel lobby. Luxurious lobby atrium. There is a club lounge on the 42nd floor. We can see the Museum of the Future from the window of the club lounge. Let's go see what the Museum of the Future looks like at night. The Museum of the Future was wonderful during the day, but at night it takes on a fantastical atmosphere. If we look at it up close, only the bottom part looks a little purple. Around 7:30pm. It was almost closing time, and there were fewer people than during the day. There was a cat outside. There's a cat in this place. Let's take a look at the Future Museum from the road side. A beautifully shining future museum. Dubai Metro passes through. Let's take a look at the Museum of the Future once again. It is unique as it is said to be the most beautiful building in the world. It's the next morning. Let's go to the Future Museum from the hotel's connecting passage. There are three words written in Arabic letters. The good thing is that the hotel is directly connected to the Museum of the future. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the hotel lobby to the Museum of the Future. A refreshing passageway based on white. We can see the entrance to the Future Museum and the green hill from the passage. Go to the right and we will find the lobby. On the left is a direct passageway from Dubai Metro. If you are coming from Dubai Metro or hotel, you will enter through this entrance. We'll go inside. When I went, the opening hours of the Museum of the Future were 9:30am to 9pm. When I went there around 9:30, there weren't many people. There are fewer people early in the morning, which is good for people who want to avoid crowds. There is an object shaped like a human hand outside, but I forgot to take a photo of it. Depending on the time of day, there will be a purple four-legged robot. It's like a robot that can recognize human faces. The robot moves violently. When the robot recognizes a human face, it stops and looks at the person. Some children enjoyed looking at the robots, while others were scared. This robot is definitely worth seeing. It was an interesting robot. This concludes the introduction to the Museum of the Future. Check out Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel. It was a convenient hotel that was directly connected to the Museum of the Future. A video of the stay will be uploaded later. The Museum of the Future had serious and difficult content, such as environmental issues. I think you will be able to understand it more deeply if you study about the Museum of the Future in advance. The Museum of the Future is a popular tourist spot, so I recommend making reservations at least one month in advance. After this, I moved from Dubai to Qatar. Thank you for your viewing.
