The annual MGS Entertainment Show will celebrate its fifth anniversary this year, and will return to the region from November 14-16 at The Venetian Macao.

MGS is a gaming, entertainment and leisure tradeshow seeking to attract established suppliers to the gaming industry.
Tech innovators are again participating in the tradeshow which is held each autumn to promote their products to industry professionals.

With this year’s focus on innovations that are shaping the smart city of the near future, a number of leading technology companies have signed up to showcase technological advances, MGS said in a statement.

This year’s tradeshow will feature humanoid robots at the Qihan booth. The Shenzhen-
based company has become a leading player in video analysis since its creation in 2006.

Last year, they came onto the service robotics scene with the launch of their line of Sanbot robots.

Beginning with a service industry robot called Elf, Sanbot has made ins with airport services and border security, as well as shopping malls and entertainment venues.

This year, Sanbot introduced Elf’s ‘bigger, stronger, faster, and more human-like’ younger sibling, King Kong. Both Elf and King Kong will be fully charged and ready for a meet and greet at the Qihan booth.
Alibaba’s cloud computing service – which is China’s largest provider of public cloud computing services – will also be featured at the tradeshow.

Alibaba has recently entered into an agreement with Macau to bring improvements to the territory’s infrastructure across various sectors, and to improve professional training in information technology available to students in Macau.
Advanced analytics and facial recognition have already permeated the video surveillance market as a result of companies such as Hikvision.

The ability of surveillance technology to piece together a condensed set of relevant events from a vast supply of video footage has changed the way investigations and security monitoring are conducted, the statement added.
Other major technology-related companies will also be showcasing their products and services alongside more traditional gaming and entertainment players and businesses.
