More than 600 performers from eleven groups and two schools take part. The story presents the past, present and future of Kaohsiung.

A Moving Keys function plays back recorded music with visible key movement.

The film shows that each person holds a different standard of value. My Coin was created with computer animation software, which allowed the characters and their actions to be exaggerated for dramatic effect.

Holokit X uses the phone hardware and software, including the lidar sensor, spatial audio and motion tracking, so virtual content appears within the real room. The body is made of reinforced ABS with a transparent double injection part. The weight rests mainly on a thick forehead pad, and an elastic headband holds the headset in place during movement.
