At the heart of the Tissot World of Hockey Zone is the Global Game Encounter, an innovative, interactive, high-tech exhibit providing in-depth information about international hockey. The exhibit combines individual user kiosks accessing detailed international hockey data and photographic images, with an impressive large-format multimedia display that caters its audio/visual presentations to those areas in which users are collectively interested.
The star of the Global Game Encounter is Cosmo, an animated computer-generated character who serves as host and guide to the multimedia presentations.
Interacting with the users, Cosmo acts as master of ceremonies serving up presentations about a wide variety of topics:
The International Ice Hockey Federation: Including history, executives, rules, and more. It includes the IIHF Honour Roll, a tribute to the greatest names in international hockey, providing information and visuals pertaining to each honouree.
