Exploring the ocean via augmented reality

KUALA LUMPUR: Maxis has unveiled Malaysia’s first 5G augmented reality (AR) experience with marine life.

In collaboration with AquariaKLCC, the one-of-a-kind AR showcase takes visitors on a journey through the ocean floor, offering immersive experience on ocean conservation.

For the next six months until March next year, visitors of AquariaKLCC can try out the interactive experience, where they will be prompted to engage in virtual tasks under the sea.

The AquariaKLCC use case is part of the 5G Malaysia Demonstration Projects announced by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to facilitate, develop and foster 5G use cases in a live but controlled environment.

“Through this engaging experience, we wanted everyone to have a glimpse into the future of how 5G technology can be fun, immersive and educational,” said Maxis Chief Technology and Information Officer Morten Bangsgaard.

Concurrently, Maxis is launching several other demonstrations nationwide, expected to be launched in Langkawi and Gamuda Cove.

Last month, Maxis and Huawei signed a landmark agreement for the provisioning of 5G network to deliver the best of network innovation to benefit the people and businesses in Malaysia as soon as the necessary spectrum is made available.
