M1 partners with Haidilao (海底捞) to provide 5G technology to the upcoming restaurant at Marina Square. Expect to be served by robots and enjoy the waiting time with VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augment Reality).
If you have been to Haidilao, you know that their service is tip-top. With this new concept of dining with the aid of 5G technology using Huawei’s technology, I think it will be a totally new experience.
