News & Reviews:   Samsung Culture Explorer Malaysia

Last week was filled with a lot of new and official announcements but the most notable one remained Xiaomi's first laptop, the Mi Notebook Air, which for some reason was quickly followed up by another thin notebook computer called the Lenovo Air 13 Pro. Following up on these were the Xiaomi Redmi Pro smartphone with its dual rear camera, while the Android-based Blackberry DTEK50 was also announced. Other notable international announcements include the Samsung Galaxy Tab J for those budget tablet users out there.

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.
