The partnership appears to be a far-reaching one, and it may wind up seeing the two work together in a number of as-yet-unannounced capacities, but first things first augmented reality for the groupâs new album. When BTS began promoting their to-be-released album Map of the Soul 7 arriving tomorrow, February 21, the Korean outfit shared that they were planning on launching a global art project called Connect, BTS, and while details were scarce when that name was first unveiled, lucky listeners around the world got to involve themselves in the bandâs artistic vision...if they lived in specific cities. Various art installations and moving pieces were shown in cities like New York and London, and while huge crowds turned out to see the touching and impressive items, not everyone was able to travel to those locales. Now, thanks to the first step in BTSâs partnership with Samsung, that is about to change. The tech giant is reportedly planning on releasing an augmented reality service that those who own a Galaxy phone can download in order to experience the Connect, BTS pieces they may have missed by not living in one of the five cities where the art actually existed. One of several members of the group will appear on the screen and talk about what the viewers are seeing, explaining why itâs a part of the series and what makes it special. BTS and Samsung are likely working on plenty of other exciting developments for the future, and so far, it hasnât been revealed how long the parties are planning on working together, if theyâve agreed on a number of campaigns or projects, and there was certainly no mention of what such a teaming up cost the South Korean technology hub. There are plenty of rumors about what may come next, including more attached specifically to the Galaxy brand, but for now, fans will have to wait patiently and enjoy the AR/BTS, Connect experience coming their way sometime soon. Oh, and that new album thatâs only a few hours away, of course.
