What if we treat the world like a game?
chinadaily.com.cn
At the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, let’s dive into world models that build lifelike virtual spaces. Here, you don’t need to fear failure!
China Daily reporter Yan An meets Winston Ng, Singaporean student entrepreneur and 2026 WIC Global Youth Leader, who creates immersive virtual worlds. In these worlds, you can be a bus driver, firefighter or police officer. His team has also recreated a stunning digital Wuzhen, complete with indigo-dye workshops — just like the real world.
The value of these virtual worlds lies in their ability to simulate extreme and hazardous scenarios, serving as a training ground for embodied intelligence. Humans can also learn and practice within these digital environments. For him, virtual worlds blend fun and learning.
Virtual worlds will grow ever more fascinating. Yet what we strive for is always a better real world, the only place where you can have a decent meal.
