Play with your arctic friends at the Philippines’ first AR experience

Augmented Reality (AR) is on the rise. Things like Pokémon GO has helped push the popularity of AR past the breaking point, helping people experience things they normally wouldn’t… like playing around with penguins or polar bears.

Shangri-La Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong has taken this to the next level with the introduction of the country’s first-ever broadcast augmented reality (BAR) experience aptly named Arctic Adventure.

It’s augmented reality taken to the next level. You won’t be able to actually hug a living penguin, play with a polar bear, or muck about with an orca, but you can see what it would look like through the magic of BAR.
