Not sure what to do this weekend? Head down to SITEX 2015 at Singapore Expo and try out some of the cool gadgets on showcase. From Samsung Gear VR contest to rock climbing competition, even if you have nothing to buy, you can get to experience some of these latest gadgets first hand.

For the adventurers

Who says geeks are not sporty? Right at the Adventure IT Arena, you will be greeted by an eight meter tall rock wall. Climb your way to the top and win gadgets like Go Pro and drones. Just make sure you come in with the proper attire. Harness and helmets are provided courtesy of Safra Adventure Club. For me, I managed to win a drone with camera by clocking the best time amongst the other competitors! You can be a winner too!

There is also a dive pool to showcase the latest waterproof camera casing. Talk about product showmanship! The organiser brought in this pool with fully gear-ed scuba diver just to demonstrate the ability of these casings.

I thought this was a dunking pool!

For the gamers

This year the Gaming Ground is more exciting than last year. Besides ogling at the latest gaming laptop and accessories, you can have a go at a UFO catcher or take the driver seat in a game that feels almost too real to be a game.

Driving experience right in your living room!

If you are into e-sports, there will also be competitions held at the corner itself. For the League of Legends SITEX 2015 Open, there are already 80 teams which have signed up for this tournament all within the first day of registration! The semi finals and grand finals will be held on the 26 and 28 Nov respectively. For more details you can check out their website.

E-sports at SITEX

Those who wish to try out the Samsung Gear VR can head down to their booth and take part in the Anshar Wars 2 game competition. Winner will walk away with a Galaxy Note 5 and a Samsung Gear VR! However, you have to be the top scorer of this entire show to win this competition. After 3 minutes in the virtual reality world full of twirling and swirling, I do feel a bit giddy and almost lost my footing. But hey, if I can win the phone and the VR set, everything is worth the while! Queue may be long so be sure to be there early for registration.

Can you beat the high score and win home a Galaxy S5 with Gear VR?

For the shoppers

There are tons of gadgets for you to buy at SITEX. Other than your usual laptops and phones, this year VR-Zone brought in some interesting gadgets that will tempt you to spend your money on.

First of the list that caught our eyes is PowerCube which is a multi-face power extension point. At around $30 plus (depending on the models you take), it is rather affordable compared to those old bulky power bar which could cost around the same price. We really like the design and portability of the PowerCube. Some models even come with USB points that you can use for charging your devices straight off the plug.

The other gadget is a 360 degree speaker that is from a local company call Archt. They are a kickstarter backed company which is now producing these patented speaker which, unlike traditional speakers, provides a full 360 degree audio. You can buy their speaker from SITEX as they will be retailing it there.
