Free-standing, tech-enabled lactation pods for breastfeeding mothers to nurse their children across four locations on Sentosa.
The pilot exemplifies our commitment to providing innovative and user-friendly amenities that bolster Sentosa as an inclusive and family-friendly destination.

Trial Period: March 2022 - April 2022

The use of drones to deliver food from Sentosa to Southern Islands.
This trial explores options in circumventing the operating constraints of providing F&B options for visitors and staff on the Southern Islands.

A personalised, multi-sensory, perfume-making for guests on Sentosa Island.
Personality surveys and Augmented Reality (AR) projections were employed to provide guests with a unique and immersive experience.

The first and only fully-powered sunscreen lotion-dispensing kiosks in the world, these kiosks were placed at Siloso, Palawan and Tanjong beaches to provide guests with access to skin protection anytime.
No electrical connection is required due to the solar panels attached to its roof.
Sunscreen lotion was dispensed directly to users, therefore reducing the need for single-use plastic packaging for a more environmentally-friendly outcome.

Trial Period: February 2020 - September 2020

Sensors installed in litter bins will capture data on the filling level and transmit such data into cloud storage.
Reports can be generated from such dashboards to analyse the trend of litter bin emptying trips and volume, which could lead to prodictivity improvements.

Trial Period: November 2019 - February 2020

Featuring an interactive storyline, the different historic exhibits at Fort Siloso were brought to life through the AR App.
The immersive experience enabled guests to have a deeper perspective of the rich heritage of Fort Siloso.
