The glow from Shanghai's Found 158 entertainment district now extends beyond its physical boundaries into the digital realm. At the newly opened Neo-Tao nightclub, patrons wearing AR glasses see digital avatars of performers interacting with the live band, while blockchain-based drink tokens allow seamless ordering from any corner of the venue. This represents Shanghai's latest innovation in entertainment - the "phygital" (physical+digital) venue, where the boundaries between real and virtual blur.
