Seoul Subway Digital View

Hi. How's your day? Hope that everything going smoothly and according to what you have planned. I really hope that you enjoy reading my blog while scroll over the pictures that I post during my travelling basically to Korea. I'm sorry if you are feeling a bit bias towards me because I always post about Korean Technology but I can't help because I love to share stories about what I already experienced it because by telling like this way, it makes us feel real thing. So today, I would like to share about my experienced while using the Digital View that located at subway station in Seoul. First off all what is Digital View? Let's scroll down here.

Korea is one of the country that have the best subway station in the world. The way they design it looks so creative and innovative with the high technology that peoples never dream about. The future subway navigation which is known as Digital View was created by Daum, one of Korea's leading internet portals whereby it has been installed almost everywhere in the Seoul Subway System. Digital View resembles a smartphone, only much it's larger than our phone and it has 100% gigantic touch screen. This gigantic screen can help everyone that need help in term of looking at the map around Seoul. Below are some features of Digital View:

Subway Navigation : With this Digital View, you can click where at your start stations and the ending stations that you want to go. It will optimize the route for you, showing you the way on the map on how to go there and also where to transfer due to Seoul have many Exit. I already tried it by searching about the stations that I want to go and it's really help me. We don't need to feel worried if we lost due to Digital View can help us and they are also friendly due to it comes with English language too.

Satellite View Map : It is more like Google Earth, Daum also displays satellite imaging of the city and the whole country. This satellite view map can even know on how to go to a specific building and it's tell you the way to go there. And to be more interesting, this map can also view the road and the top of the building.

Phone : Digital View has a telephone whereby here we can use our T-money card to make a call. T-money card is an electronic money that can be used to ride buses and subways that usually comes in card form. I have tried once to make a call using my T-money card to Malaysia but maybe I don't know on how to operate it and fail to make a call. Yes it has a dial tone and the line but it's failed to connect it. I using my T-money card which we can insert it and make a call and make sure our T-money card have money inside there.

Information : Besides that, this Digital View can give us any information about the news, weather, financial information even any event that happen surrounding Seoul and it is really amazing. It's also display advertisement and commercial breaks which it's like watching a television.



This is the examples of Digital View at Seoul Subway Station. It's too big and everything is 100% touch screen. It's really so cool whereby I love to scroll here for many times even hours due to it's give me something new about technology invention. Never thought that this Digital View not only give us information about map but it's also can give news, have commercial break, sometimes have video of Korean actor being playing here. 


See the telephone there. We can make a call. It's amazing right. When we click at the place that we want to go, Digital View not only give us the direction on how to go but it's also provide us the attractions that have in that place. It's also tell us what's event happening there and how we can participate that event. 


This is the satellite map that the Digital View have. Looks it's not only about viewing the building where is it but it show us the road to go there!. Wow!. Look here we can see the building that we want to go clearly and we can also enlarge the image by touch the plus or minus there in order to see the image bigger or smaller.

Look how amazing this Digital View here. It's really something that we never ever dream about by having this thing it's really can help us in too many ways. It gives us information, enjoyable, interesting and the tourists especially no need to worry when they want to travel alone. With this Digital View, we can travel free and easy without worries. It shows the map of Seoul overall and the map of subway station. Digital View have so much functions and it help our daily life become more easier.

So when you travel to Seoul, don't forget to try the Digital View. It's amazing and peoples like me who are a bit slow in term of new technology, it's kind of experienced new things in my life. How I wish Malaysia also have Digital View to be located maybe at KL Sentral due to its easier for peoples to get the information. The main purpose Seoul have this Digital View maybe is due to they are the country that really advanced in technology. In order to experienced something new in the technology, I suggest that you go to country like Korea and Japan, they really creative in invent new ideas about today's technology.

Hope that you have fun while reading my post about Digital View. Sorry if my post a bit not too formal but I just want to share something which maybe can give you some information about technology. See you again. Have a nice day.
