Get a glimpse of what Malaysian life was back in the day. The filter shows a variety of tasks being done, with men focusing on field work and the women are seen carrying baskets of fruits, all while there are children playing and enjoying their youth. This encapsulates the Malaysian life back then as all tasks are being completed in a place devoid of technology.

Pago-pago was created with the idea of rehabilitating Asian modernism, which is why we headed into a more abstract approach with this AR filter. The textures start off distorted, then form into the original artwork. This allows us to maintain the theme of modernism and the artwork.

We wanted people to experience what Langkawi felt like at that point in time, with the cloudy night skies and the midnight breeze. We made sure to make the clouds spread out of the boundaries of the image to make it feel more realistic and more immersive. There is also a depth to the filter which makes it much more convincing and enthralling to users.
