Malaysia's largest laser projection mapping latest attraction in Langkawi

LANGKAWI: A 556m², three-dimensional (3D) laser projection mapping, the largest of its kind in Malaysia, is the latest tourist attraction featured at the Oriental Village's 3D Art Langkawi Museum, here.
The state-of-the art show which utilises creative technology display has been recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) as a new achievement.
"This will definitely be another addition to the unique products in Langkawi to attract more tourists," said Langkawi Development Authority (Lada) chief executive officer, Datuk Azizan Noordin after the product launch, today.
In addition, he said, the museum was also recognised by MBR today for having the biggest 3D mural in the country with a size of 1,200.73m².
He said Lada's subsidiary, Panorama Langkawi Sdn Bhd, had formed a partnership with a private company which had invested about RM3.5 million to set up the laser projection equipment which could display various scenes from around the world.
"These scenes will give tourists the feeling of being in places like the Niagara Falls, ancient Egypt, the fantasy world and during the Roman empire age, said Azizan.
Meanwhile, the waiting time for tourists wishing to experience the Langkawi Sky Cab cable car ride at the Oriental Village has been shortened following the addition of 20 new gondolas.
Azizan said the new units had increased the number of gondolas to 80 to enable the waiting time to be shortened from around one hour to 30 minutes.
"The new products and additional improvements made on the existing ones augur well with our target of bringing in four million tourists to Langkawi this year," he added. — Bernama
