Samsung Experience at NBA Opening Night in San Francisco

 

Last night in San Francisco, Samsung celebrated the NBA Opening Night at Pier 43 with its ever-popular Samsung Experience, inspired by the iconic circular design and functional innovation of the all-new Gear S2 smartwatch.

The space was be transformed into a massive LED basketball court, dubbed the Samsung LED Court powered by the new Samsung Gear S2 Smartwatch.

Launched earlier this month, the Gear S2 centers on an innovative, circular infrastructure with a rotating bezel. The bezel allows people to easily and precisely navigate the UI with the turn of a dial – everything you need most from your smartphone is available on your wrist, whether you’re checking text messages, scrolling through emails, or checking the latest sports stats.

Travel Diaries: San Francisco

On Tuesday June 23rd, I had the awesome opportunity to travel to San Francisco to attend Ford's Digital Trends Conference. It was so amazing that I decided to document this trip because I saw so many amazing landmarks. I stayed in the Grand Hyatt hotel in Union Square, and the first thing I wanted to see were the Hearts in San Francisco: an annual public art installation started in 2004 by the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation for the purpose of fundraising. The project is inspired by the international CowParade exhibit, in which cow sculptures are painted by various artists and installed in various cities throughout the world. The choice of hearts is inspired by the Tony Bennett song "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".
