In a step that takes innovations to new levels, Samsonite Group “ the worldwide leader in travel solutions over the last 100 years “ has implemented the revolutionary Augmented Reality Interactive display concept, in select Samsonite Classic Stores in the UAE and Middle East.

The introduction of Augmented Reality concept further reinforces Samsonite Middle East's commitment to innovation, not only in their world-class products and services, but also in the way they communicate and display the products at their stores in the region.

Samsonite ME also announced that the concept will soon also be introduced at other selected stores across the UAE and the Middle East.

In his comments on the new interactive concept, Subrata Dutta, Managing Director - South Asia and Middle East for Samsonite, said: "By bringing in the concept of Augmented Reality into the region “ the first time such an interactive display has been introduced in our category across the region, our aim is to give an exciting and innovative new avenue for our customers to feel the Samsonite experience with us.
