The Hong Kong Polytechnic University successfully hosted its annual alumni event, PolyU Homecoming 2026: AI．Art, on 12 April 2026. The celebration was officiated by University leadership, including Council Chairman Dr. LAM Tai-fai and President Prof. Jin-Guang TENG, alongside the members of the University Council, senior management, and other PolyU associates.
With over 6,000 visitors, including our alumni, their families, friends, and students, the event featured a diverse range of activities, including InnoTech Campus Adventures, Alumni Creative Market, AI x Crafts Workshops, AI Grad Photo Studio, Sports Hub, and many other kiosks to showcase AI integrating culture and the arts.
Amid the fusion of technology and creativity, The Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) stood out with its project, “Unfolding the Lost WWII Heritage: Promotion of Geo-Spatial and Geophysical Technologies,” led by Ir Prof. Wallace Wai Lok LAI, Associate Head (Teaching) of LSGI. By utilizing airborne LiDAR and 3D modeling, the team demonstrated how geospatial technology can locate and preserve forgotten historical sites of World War II (WWII) in Hong Kong.
The event served as a vital platform for alumni to reconnect with LSGI and witness the cutting-edge advancements within the LSGI field. Thank you to all our alumni and their families for joining us and making this event a memorable success. We look forward to seeing our community at future events.
