SingTel Experience Centre

The SingTel Experience Centre at Comcentre showcases technology that uses intuitive Minority Report-style body gestures to manipulate and interact with multimedia images on a giant 14-metre, 180-degree circular screen.

The system is able to detect the presence of up to five concurrent users and automatically adjusts images to cater to each user.

 
The experience centre features ultra-high definition images of three iconic cities: Paris, Shanghai and Rio de Janeiro. Users can zoom in and out of images and navigate to points of interest through intuitive swimming-style movements and by making binoculars-like gestures. They can also take a photograph of themselves superimposed on the city landscape and share them via social networks.
 
 


Now, you can see the world without leaving Singapore or without having a valid passport to do so...  

 
A group us were invited to SingTel Comcentre to experience the latest technology brought to us by SingTel.
 


 
SingTel gathers data on how users interact with the system like gestures they use, how quickly they learn, how they respond to tutorials, how they engage with natural gestures. 

These information will enable SingTel to explore how new technologies that can be applied in real-life commercial applications.
 

 
 SingTel is now working with partners to explore video conferencing technologies that use life-size 3-dimensional holographic images and also looking into eye-tracking technologies that may allow users to control virtual objects and electronic devices by sight.

 
We were given a chance to hand on and experience travelling around the world without stepping out of Singapore.


 
Lastly, we took a picture against our favorite city and uploaded it on facebook, and I was truly amazed by the interactive digital technology...
 
 
The SingTel Experience Centre will be open to the public from Thursday 6 December during normal SingTel Shop operating hours. For more information, please visit experiencecentre.sg.

 
By reading the above, are you amazed by this future man-made interaction? I bet that YOU WILL when you click on the youtube video. Have a pleasant viewing (:

Preview screening of Planes

Image
 Thanks Claressa for asking me along to join her for the preview screening of Planes at GV VivoCity.   --- Posters of Planes ---         I was thinking to myself during the show, has PIXAR run out of ideas to make a movie? This movie has all the hallmarks of a standard PIXAR movie, such as Cars/Wall-E/Toy Story, with the looks and graphics being the same.     The movie, Planes is a carbon copy of 'Cars' with both the films logo being similar. Oh well, seems like a rip off to me!       The film focuses on Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook), an ambitious crop-dusting plane that predictably spends his days flying over tall grass spraying fertilizer. His dream is to become a racing plane, soaring high and racing around the world.   Though he is built not for flying this capacity but his biggest drawback is that he is afraid of height, as he gets used to flying at low heights.   Skipper Riley (voiced by Stacy Keach) i

How I wish I could work in such a wonderful environment! The pantry looks just like an eatery place, and was well stocked with drinks, snacks and even cup noodles!   Nextflix won the global rights to stream the movie 'Next Gen' , and this newly animated movIe debuts on the 7th of September 2018 .  'Next Gen' is a family-friendly movie with pretty good computer animated visuals for a non-Disney/ Pixar/ DreamWorks production.     This film, 'Next Gen' was based on a short online comic from the Chinese Multimedia Company 'Baozou' . I really love the scene where the robot needs to choose

Image
Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment, and I was
