Samsung Electronics is glad to announce its new innovative projects under the Creative Lab (C-Lab) suite. The latest iteration ought to deliver a broad spectrum of experiences via Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), which will be showcased at the 2017 Mobile World Congress (MWC).
After years of fueling corporate culture and innovative ideas that turn pages for the current trends, Samsung will be showcasing a new quartet of projects in the upcoming Barcelona trade show. According to Samsung Newsroom, the core of the latest iteration will be in the VR and AR spectrum, which expressed their infinite possibilities since 2016.

For the uninitiated, the products hinted for the showcase event will include a smart aid for visually impaired people, monitorless PC viewing glasses, a VR home furnishing solution and a 360-degree travel experience platform.
To start, the Relúmĭno app aims to help near blind and visually impaired people watch TV and read books with "new levels of clarity." This visual aid application is incorporated with the Samsung Gear VR, which will then enhance visuals by repositioning images to rid of blind spots and correcting images that appear distorted for people with metamorphopsia so that users can enjoy better viewing quality.
Next is the pair of ordinary-looking glasses called Monitorless. This gear acts as a remote-control VR/AR solution that replaces PC and smartphone monitors. It uses a special pair of glasses that can be used to view content from devices like smartphones and PCs, which can also activate augmented reality and virtual reality functions.
As an improved tool for home furniture buyers, the VuildUs enables users to project how furniture will fit in a room before customers purchase them. This module includes a 360-degree depth camera and a mobile app for VR compatible devices. The company claims that it "removes the need for measuring space before buying furniture because it enables them to see whether it would fit in real time."
Lastly, the company will introduce the traVRer, a 360-degree video platform that allows a real-life experience of tourist spots without the hassle of leaving home, Engadget reported. The said platform, which is similar to Google Street View and Matterport, even captures the mood, noises and events in different episodes within the place.
The mentioned C-Lab projects are expected to be unveiled at Samsung Electronics' booth (4YFN G1 in the Fira Barcelona).
