\"SITEX<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

For the adventurers<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u00a0the best time amongst the other competitors! You can be a winner too!<\/p>\n

There is also a dive pool\u00a0to\u00a0showcase 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.<\/p>\n

I thought this was a dunking pool!<\/p><\/div>\n

For the gamers<\/span><\/p>\n

This year the Gaming Ground\u00a0is more exciting than last year. Besides\u00a0ogling at the latest gaming laptop and accessories, you can\u00a0have a go at a\u00a0UFO catcher\u00a0or take the driver seat in a\u00a0game that feels almost too real to be a game.<\/p>\n

If you are into e-sports, there will also be competitions held at the corner itself. For the\u00a0League of Legends SITEX 2015 Open, there\u00a0are already 80 teams which have\u00a0signed 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.\u00a0For more details you can check out their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0Samsung 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\u00a0VR set, everything is worth the while! Queue may be long so be sure to be there early for registration.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Can you beat the high score and win home a Galaxy S5 with Gear VR?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Welcome to Samsung Gear VR<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the shoppers<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u00a0that will tempt you to\u00a0spend your money on.<\/p>\n

First of the list that caught our eyes is\u00a0PowerCube 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\u00a0around 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\u00a0devices straight off the plug.<\/p>\n

The other gadget is a 360 degree speaker that is from\u00a0a local company call Archt<\/a>.\u00a0They are a kickstarter backed company\u00a0which\u00a0is now producing these patented speaker which, unlike traditional speakers, provides a full 360 degree audio.\u00a0You can buy their speaker from SITEX as they will be retailing it there.<\/p>\n

Ah finally the luck draw!\u00a0One of the top prize\u00a0for this year lucky draw is a Can-Am Spyder<\/a>! It is on display at the show, so even if you cannot win it, feel free to take a photo with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Win a Can-Am Spyder!<\/p><\/div>\n
