On 17 April, the grand opening celebration welcomed distinguished guests and cultural leaders, featuring a specially composed performance by renowned Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi. Set against the venue's unique architecture, the score was paired with a dramatic display of 6,000 synchronised drones and pyrotechnics, curated to celebrate the new milestone for Saadiyat Cultural District, and reflect the connection between art, technology and imagination.

H.E. Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, said: "teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is a groundbreaking cultural landmark that redefines immersive art experiences on a global scale. It embodies a bold vision that pushes the boundaries of creativity, technology, and human perception, offering visitors an experience unlike any other. Together with our partner, teamLab, we take great pride in bringing this pioneering concept to life, reinforcing our commitment to shaping world-class experiences that inspire, engage, and contribute to Abu Dhabi's cultural legacy. Saadiyat Cultural District is a cultural landmark of global significance, bringing together the world's greatest minds and institutions to foster dialogue, inspire creativity, and shape a more connected future."

Following the opening ceremony, guests were immersed within newly unveiled teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi exhibits, meandering between its inspiring artistic installations, interacting with the dynamic artworks, and experiencing the connection between art, technology and natural phenomena.

Toshiyuki Inoko, Founder of teamLab, said: "The artworks in teamLab Phenomena do not exist independently but are created by the environment which produces the various phenomena that creates the artworks. Objects such as stones and man-made creations maintain a stable structure independently. A stone, for instance, will remain unchanged even if placed in a sealed box, isolated from the outside world. In contrast, a vortex in the ocean will vanish in an instant if removed from its environment. Unlike a stone, a vortex does not sustain itself; it evolves with the surrounding currents, formed by water flowing continuously from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside of the vortex, changing along with the flow. Moreover, the boundaries of its existence are ambiguous, and there is no material distinction between the vortex and its surroundings.

"The unique environment produces the phenomena, and the environment maintains the existence of the structure. Let us call that existence Environmental Phenomena. The artwork is inseparable from the environment and changes along with the environment. This concept transcends the various conventional notions of existence by physical forms. Even if people immerse themselves physically into the artwork, the artwork will remain intact, capable of naturally restoring itself even if disrupted. However, when the environment is not sustained, the artwork will disappear. The boundaries of the artwork are ambiguous and continuous with the environment. Perhaps, people's consciousness will expand from the artwork itself to the environment beyond."

Spanning 17,000 square metres, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi has been developed by the internationally acclaimed art collective teamLab, in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi). The multi-sensory art experience reflects the emirate's unwavering commitment to fostering creativity and cultural innovation on a global scale, and it presents massive transformative artworks that each blend art, science and technology in groundbreaking ways.

teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is designed to explore and transcend the limits of every guest's imagination. Each artwork within the unique, purpose-built venue will evolve over time through the interplay of light, sound and movement. Unlike artworks at traditional galleries, visitors will discover exhibits that are fluid, existing in a dynamic relationship with their environment. Each artwork responds to guests' actions and natural changes in the environment, creating a living, breathing art experience, unlike any other.

Comprising two distinct Wet and Dry areas, guests will be immersed in a series of mesmerising visuals, vibrant landscapes and interactive installations that dissolve the boundaries between art and audience. Every moment offers a new philosophical experience, ensuring that each visitor experience is unique.

In the Dry area, visitors will encounter a variety of artworks that encourage interaction, responding to their movements and actions to create a unique connection between guests and the installations. As they move into the Wet area, guests will follow a dedicated walkway leading them into an exciting realm filled with fluid, hands-on experiences that further deepen their connection with the art.

teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is a key addition to Saadiyat Cultural District, which upon completion will be the largest concentration of world-leading cultural and educational institutions. The District is home to an unparalleled lineup of museums and cultural landmarks, including Louvre Abu Dhabi; the upcoming Zayed National Museum, the national museum of the UAE; Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, featuring a global collection of modern and contemporary art that reflects the diversity of cultures and trends from around the world; and Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, telling the story of life on earth and the origins of our universe.

The addition of teamLab Phenomena reinforces Abu Dhabi's position as a global cultural epicentre, offering visitors a unique and transformative experience while showcasing its commitment to creativity, innovation and cultural collaboration on a global scale.

Revolutionizing the All-In-One Digital Hunting Experience

HANGZHOU, China, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunting is evolving. The modern hunter is rapidly adapting from traditional optics to totally immersive digital viewing, and HIKMICRO is leading the way with the HABROK 4K 2.0 to deliver the ultimate all-in-one hunting experience.

 

HIKMICRO is committed to constant product refinement based on technological excellence and feedback from real-world hunters. A true pioneer in the digital hunting market, HIKMICRO spearheaded the all-in-one revolution with HABROK 4K in 2024. This device set a new standard by combining thermal and CMOS technologies in a single unit.

HABROK'S all-in-one ethos enables hunters to quickly and clearly spot their quarry's unmissable heat signature. This is backed up by pin-sharp full-color viewing for clear identification not just in daylight but also in twilight. Add detailed infrared night vision for clear viewing and confident identification in total darkness and you have the complete package – all in an easy-to-carry unit that looks and handles much like traditional binoculars.

These pioneering technological advantages work in harmony with the hunter's natural instincts to unlock the secrets of the hunt with an all-in-one solution. The launch of HABROK 4K 2.0 to the European market on December 15th 2025 elevates this concept to another level.

A HIKMICRO product manager explains: "HABROK 4K 2.0 builds on a trusted legacy to lead the digital hunt. The first incarnation of this device revealed the potential for all-in-one observation – now our experts have worked closely with hunters to refine HABROK for smooth viewing, smarter operation and an even more intuitive user experience. HABROK 4K 2.0 is the next chapter in binocular innovation, building on our brand values to deliver unparalleled viewing at an accessible price for all. Clearer, smarter, steadier – the next generation is here."

Next Generation Performance for Digital Hunting with Ultimate Confidence

HABROK 4K 2.0 has been developed to deliver major advancements where hunters need them most. This new generation all-in-one solution optimizes performance in the key areas of clarity, control and comfort.

Rear focus and fast thermal/digital switch for single-handed superiority

Every advancement in HABROK 4K 2.0 has been made for intuitive, one-handed operation – leaving one hand free to keep a secure hold on your hunting gear. These developments include a rear focus wheel which sits closer to the eyepiece, giving hunters quick access with the familiar feel of classic optical binoculars. The hunter can now quickly bring the subject into sharp relief with minimal movement and without having to adjust their hold.

HABROK 4K 2.0 also boasts a new Thermal/Digital switch. This allows the hunter to instantly shift between the two viewing channels in a seamless transition. This fast switch from spotting a heat signature to detailed full-color or infrared viewing is another example of the synergy between technological advancement and instinctive control. Step confidently into digital hunting with familiar, intuitive operation.

Sharper, Smoother, Steadier Viewing

HIKMICRO's image stabilization algorithm and freely adjustable magnification in both thermal and digital channels enable hunters to zoom in and out seamlessly while maintaining a steady, crystal-clear view with no shake, no blur and no lag. From a wide view for scanning the open countryside for activity to zooming in tight for clear identification, HABROK 4K 2.0 keeps you in the picture.

HIKMICRO's shutterless technology has been added to the <18mK NETD thermal channel on HABROK 4K 2.0. The result is uninterrupted visuals and a smoother, quieter viewing experience. The risk of missing a vital moment is eliminated as you stay fully focused on the hunt.

Intelligent Upgrades for Precise Shot Placement

The new ballistic calculation system on HABROK 4K 2.0 keeps every shot on target. This game-changing innovation uses distance readings from the laser rangefinder and pre-set ammunition parameters to instantly provide a precise aiming solution – even hunters using traditional scopes can take pinpoint shots with total confidence. Previously only associated with expensive premium optics, HABROK 4K 2.0 puts this digital advantage in the hands of all hunters.

Leading the Digital Hunting Journey with the All-In-One HABROK 4K 2.0

Advancements incorporated into HABROK 4K 2.0 underline HIKMICRO's commitment to leading and redefining the digital optics revolution. We take the best from the traditional, then add our technological expertise and feedback from real hunters to deliver new and improved hunting solutions you can have absolute confidence in.

The first generation HABROK set a new standard, but the journey continues for HIKMICRO and our hunting family. HABROK 4K 2.0 builds on that success with simplified operation, improved viewing, enhanced precision and total adaptability. This versatile all-in-one optic has raised the bar once again.

These refinements are inspired by the insight of real hunters – the people who use and trust this equipment in all weather and all environments. With their real-world input, we have made every function smarter and smoother. The new HABROK 4K 2.0 gives hunters the freedom and confidence to face nature's toughest challenges on their own terms and with the advantage of unrivalled all-in-one viewing.

HIKMICRO is leading the digital hunting journey, but it is not about replacing traditional ways – it is about building on them and empowering hunters to see more, trust more and hunt smarter.

HIKMICRO has a vision for technological innovation driven by user needs, creating the finest products with universal appeal and bringing the essence of modern hunting to life. As at the heart of every innovation and improvement, lies a simple belief from HIKMICRO – Trust Your Journey. HABROK 4K 2.0 does that and more.
