For the first time in the Middle East The Avenues mall will host on the first of November and for a period of 17 days a 300 year narrative of Kuwait’s history presented through the latest picture recognition technology and interactive marketing services.
Interactive Mega Map:
A 680 square meter map of Kuwait will be constructed on the floor of The Avenues (2nd Avenue) with special symbols scattered all around the map. Scanning these symbols through our special application designed for this event (Treek) you will be able to view a digital archive of Kuwait’s’ history and achievements.
Kuwait Time Line:
In addition to the Map, a chronological presentation of Kuwait’s history will be printed on glass panels (The Time Line) and placed next to the map with symbols representing important key events in Kuwait’s history also viewed through your smart phone.
The compiling of this archival treasure was only possible by the contribution of Kuwaiti enthusiasts and researchers with a passion to document and acquire through diligent efforts materials and information about our beloved nation from sources inside and outside Kuwait.
About Treek:
