Celcom Axiata Bhd in partnership with Nonvoice launches its first augmented reality (AR) content, Nonvoice Metaverse, enabling customers to immerse themselves with the latest digital experience and lifestyle.

The partnership provides Celcom customers with 10 aggregated and integrated consumer apps, delivering digital experiences covering AR games, education, digital collectibles/non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and sports, all in one portal. Celcom customers can exclusively have access to not one, but all of these exclusive AR services via the Celcom Life App at only RM3 per week.   

Nonvoice is the world’s first 5G app agency with partnerships that include mobile network operators, device and hardware vendors, and various industry-leading brands. Nonvoice also operates with a global network of expert agents who are deeply entrenched in their markets and fields, and a network of investors who can help app developers with access to funds to back their great ideas.

As Malaysia accelerates the adoption of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technology and with the upcoming 5G rollout, Celcom and Nonvoice will continue to add fresher and more thrilling content every month, ensuring greater value and better digital consumer satisfaction.

Starting today, a total of 10 AR services is available for Celcom customers to enjoy, ranging from:

• SCOAAR – A multiplayer AR air hockey game that enables 2 simultaneous players to freely interact with AR by physically moving, blending the real and the virtual.
• Bookful – Let your child paint a dinosaur and look at it come to live in your home. It also holds the world’s largest 3D/AR library with hundreds of book titles from leading publishers and brands. The interactive experience provides children engagement beyond the pages of the book and extends their understanding of the content.
