What will life feel like in the city of “new future”?
“The Line” presented as a never seen before state-of-the art city is on its path to overthrow the established way of urban living. As with every other innovation, before it is brought to life, it is beyond challenging to get a glimpse of everyday life in such an environment. Below you will find an imagined interpretation of a normal everyday life in an abnormal city.
A neomian, a resident of the neo city will be at the centre of the cognitive environment that is the “The Line”. By placing the human in the centre surrounded by the elements of eternal sun, constant wind and plentiful water, a truly sustainable city operating fully on renewable energy is created. This green ambition is enabled by the unique and self-sufficient geography of the Neom, more balanced than the rest of the GCC, ranging from sunlit beaches to snowy mountains. As a result, a neomian will be free of cars and public transportation, instead being able to reach all necessities within 5 minutes.
A neomian can expect the “new future” to commence right after the moment of purchasing the flight tickets. As a reactive and autonomous city powered by AI based technology, a neomian will not be subjected to queues at the airport or taxi lines. While the luggage is delivered directly to the relevant address, the taxi powered drone transports a neomian without any manual work required. Once a neomian arrives at the accommodation of choice, the fridge is filled with the necessary ingredients based on the individual choices and preferences. A digital twin of a world-class chef enabled by the robotic arm prepares a dinner of choice.
As a truly inclusive and diverse environment, the neo city allows for creation of a digital twin, mimicking behaviour, reactions and features to assist in cooperation with the fellow neomians. This can be manifested in allowing the digital twin to process your native language and translate to any other language to foster global communication.
If the aforementioned is not revolutionising enough, imagine a way of defying the laws of space and time, by allowing your hologram enabled by remote presence technology to be in two places at once, boosting your efficiency.
The city by the name of The Line reminds us that the only constant in life is change. The new future is here, as efficient, autonomous and transformational as ever before.
