Every week, about 6,800 flights land or depart from Changi Airport, or about one every 90 seconds, with 55.4 million passengers passing through the airport.

This makes Changi the seventh busiest airport by international passenger traffic in the world and the second busiest in Asia by international passenger traffic.

To spice things up, the airport has decided to place treats in all of its three terminals to give travelers a taste of Singapore regardless whether they are arriving, departing or just passing through.

This is the world’s best airport after all – according to airline ranking site Skytrax – so it goes without saying these fixtures are nothing but state of the art. Changi Airport Group and the Singapore Tourism Board set up the installations using a sum of its $35 million joint partnership fund.

There’s the motion silhouette wall

Located at the Terminal 2 transit area near the Skytrain, the Make it Your Singapore showcase – or the motion silhouette wall – deploys motion-sensing technology where travelers can interact with the animated backdrops of Singapore’s landmarks such as the National Stadium in real time.

And the dot portraits wall

Behind the motion silhouette wall is the dot portraits wall. Also powered by motion-sensing technology, this LED screen offers travelers a little souvenir but with a futuristic twist – a monochromatic portrait of themselves — without stepping out of Changi. The portraits are then emailed to them to keep as mementos.

Also plenty of unique photo spots

At selected luggage-claim belts, travelers will find cardboard artworks of Singapore’s icons such as the Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the Bay courtesy of local art groups Paper Carpenter and Band of Doodlers.

At Changi, photo opportunities are plenty as its new installations feature unique icons of Singapore such as this spot with the trishaw at the Terminal 1 Departure Hall.

And at Terminals 1 and 3 are 3D backdrops of the River Safari and Marina Barrage as well as interactive props. These are photo spots and travelers can get creative. For example, they can sit on a bicycle or pretend to fly a kite with the Marina Barrage set as the backdrop.

Also worth mentioning: the iconic trishaw will make its return to Terminal 1. It will be located at exactly the same spot it was placed when the terminal opened in 1981.
