Samsung has long been a supporter of the Olympics and it's now the Worldwide Olympic Partner in the Wireless Communications and Computing Equipment category. The company is going to use this platform to showcase some innovative experiences powered by its technologies to fans, athletes and officials at the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. It will set up multiple Samsung Olympic Showcases to encourage fans and athletes to “Do What You Can’t” through its fun and immersive experiences.

Samsung Olympic Showcases at the 2018 Winter Olympics

To commemorate this year's games, Samsung has made a PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Games Limited Edition Galaxy Note 8. It will deliver over 4,000 units to the entire PyeongChang 2018 Olympic family, athletes and organizing committee members included. It has made the The Official App of PyeongChang 2018 for everyone else. The all-in-one app gives real-time athlete information, updates, Olympic and Paralympic records as well as medal standings.

A total of nine Samsung Olympic Showcases will be set up throughout the Winter Olympics to highlight cultural, technological and immersive fan experiences in PyeongChang and Gangneung. They will be located at Olympic Parks and the Olympic Villages as well as the Main Press Center. Four of them will also be set up at the Incheon International Airport.

The Samsung Olympic Showcases will walk people through the company's brand history and heritage in design, engineering and craftsmanship. Samsung's VR technology will power immersive experiences that allow visitors to experience thrills like snowboarding.

Visitors will also be able to experience the “Mission to Space VR: A Moon for All Mankind,” an immersive VR experience created by Samsung. They will be taken through a full space mission including a mission briefing and will be completely immersed in the experience with the Moon rig where they will feel lunar gravity with every step.

There's even going to be a Kids Lounge where kids can learn, play and explore Samsung products. The company will also showcase its smart home devices and visitors will be able to purchase its mobile products and accessories on-site.
