Putting on a device which is similar to 3D glasses and holding a controlling stick, people can not only experience walking freely within the virtual scenic spots such as the Potala Palace, the Rutok Dzong Relics and the Ngari wetland, but also “touch” the articles inside them.

According to the introduction, the panorama image generating technology will play a positive role in the following aspects, like city promotion, tourist resources exploitation, as well as providing big data for the governments, enterprises and individuals.

Tibetan medicine, as the treasure of Chinese ethnic medicine, has a unique treatment technique, and is also a sort of expansion and inheritance of Tibetan culture. However, due to the changes of Tibetan's living environment, some of the Tibetan medicine production method and usage technique haven't yet been able to meet the demands of fast-pace lifestyle.

How to gain a break-through in the Tibetan medicine modernization and industrialization is a technical problem faced by Tibetan medicine and pharmaceutical enterprises at the moment.

“Traditional Tibetan medicine required live boil which took a lot of time and energy yet was not easy for long-term preservation. We have developed the ‘Qizheng pain-killer emplastrum’ by applying the modern vacuum freeze-drying technique, which preserves the activeness of the medicine and at the same time realizes the medicines' standardization, automation and large-scale production,” said a worker from a medicine company in Tibet.

Scientific and technological innovation has changed Tibetan medicine's traditional appearance and condition. It not only has laid a solid foundation for Tibetan medicine to serve the society, also largely pushed forward the modernization process for Tibetan medical techniques. Scientific and technological innovation also helps people home and abroad to know Tibetan medicine and through it to truly understand wonderful Tibetan culture.

The first Tibetan language interactive interface electronic book reader, the high-end Yak dairy products with Qinghai-Tibet characteristics, the Tibetan tourist spot reader pen, the Tibetan teaching machine ... and other traditional "Tibetan elements", taking the scientific and technological innovation as the "wing", will release huge vitality on the stage of the economic and social's continuous development. 

"During the '13th Five-Year Plan' period(2016-2020), Tibet will confirm the enterprises' dominant position in technological innovation and establish preliminarily the Tibet plateau technology innovation center. Tibet will make some breakthroughs in the core key technologies in the agriculture-animal husbandry, the specialty industry and the eco-environment protection as well as social & people's livelihood fields," said Bao Hanwen, head of Entrepreneurship Service Center, Science and Technology Department of Tibet Autonomous Region, China.

"The scientific and technological innovation capacity will approach or reach the average level in the western part of China. Tibet will further lift the contribution rate of technological progress to the economic growth," he added.
