Description:

The Smart City Model at My5G Portal in Kuala Lumpur merges advanced technology with interactive design to illuminate the transformative power of telecoms.

A centrepiece of the vibrant My5G Portal, this installation redefines how we perceive and engage with smart city technology. Designed as a digital-physical hybrid, it bridges the gap between complex telecommunications concepts and everyday understanding. By rendering invisible technologies visible and abstract ideas tangible, the Smart City Model invites visitors to explore and interact with the future of urban living.

At its core, the model showcases a hypothetical cityscape divided into six floating neighbourhoods that serve as stages for real-life scenarios where 5G technology plays a pivotal role. From environmental monitoring to autonomous transport systems, each scenario unfolds through overhead projections and augmented reality touchscreens. These elements not only visualise data flows and user interfaces but also allow visitors to interact with and influence the outcomes of these scenarios.

The Smart City Model has a unique immersive design approach. Utilising cutting-edge technologies, including bespoke show-control systems, the installation synchronises physical movements of the model with digital projections and interactive displays. This seamless integration creates a dynamic learning environment where visitors can explore firsthand how 5G will enhance emergency responses, optimise transportation, and revolutionises urban infrastructure.

As Malaysia strides towards a digitally empowered future, the Smart City Model at My5G Portal stands at the forefront of innovation. It not only demonstrates Malaysia’s commitment to technological advancement but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the role of telecoms in shaping smarter, more sustainable cities. Through its innovative design and immersive storytelling, this installation invites everyone to step into the future of urban living and explore the possibilities of connected communities powered by technology.
