The Culture Explorer (Malaysia) app on the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
Samsung Malaysia Electronics recently launched their Culture Explorer app for Malaysia in tandem with their regional Culture.Connect campaign. While the campaign encourages the celebration of culture, the app utilizes Augmented Reality or AR to act as a virtual tour guide, highlighting cultural information and knowledge on heritage landmark sites here in Malaysia. The app also includes a 360 degree virtual tour, a navigation function using Google Maps and pictures of interesting heritage landmarks around the country.
These landmarks will include the following, with more coming soon:
- Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.
- The Stadthuys, Melaka
- PETRONAS Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur (coming soon)
- Pinang Peranakan Mansion, Pulau Pinang (coming soon)
- Tuanku Ja’afar Royal Gallery, Negeri Sembilan (coming soon)
While discovering facts, users can take photos of themselves and superimpose them onto pictures of landmarks and share it online through the app or via social media. The Samsung Culture Explorer (Malaysia) app is available to download for free on the Play Store and comes in at 18MB. It needs Android 4.0 and up to work and was released on 15 July 2016.
