via The Straits Times, 11 March 2022: A new initiative to let encourage visitors to explore Singapore’s historic neighbourhood of Kampong Glam both virtually and in person.
You can roam the streets of heritage precinct Kampong Glam from the comfort of your home and even win prizes, from Saturday (March 12).
This digital initiative by the National Heritage Board (NHB) hopes to tap technology to get more people to learn more about the area’s history.
Through an avatar inspired by the Malay Heritage Centre’s resident cats, they can explore an online replica of the precinct, with the NHB teaming up with local multimedia firm Revez Motion to come up with the board’s first digital twin of a heritage precinct.
