On the cover of Vogue Singapore’s October ‘Voices’ issue, you’ll find a circular chip embedded at the bottom of the page. It is small—approximately the size of a coin—yet the possibilities it opens up are immense. In this instance, simply hovering your smartphone over the chip unlocks an immersive soundscape that encapsulates the spirit of the issue, adding a whole new layer to the reading experience.
The technology that enables this is an NFC-enabled Continuity™ Chip from Spatial Labs. Founded by Iddris Sandu in 2019, Spatial Labs develops innovative hardware that takes us into the future of digital experiences, opening new doors to ways in which we can bridge the physical and digital.
