📌 What is SkyRadar?
SkyRadar provides real-time customized recommendations for visiting customers to save their time and maximize overall shopping and recreational experience.

Come with me…And you’ll see…An Airport of Pure Excitement
Wonderland is not build in one day: Challenges & Opportunities
Hong Kong International Airport(HKIA), renowned for its world-class technology infrastructure, operational efficiency, and passenger management, maintains its position as a premier global logistics center. Set for completion in 2025, HKIA is executing a strategic transformation scheme “SKYCITY: from City Airport to Airport City”, advancing its vision to serve as the world's preeminent dynamic hub of entertainment and recreation for both travelers and local residents.
With over 800 retail shops and 120 dining venues, creating seamless navigation thus became the key challenge. To address the topic on “How might the airport offer a whole new digital or phygital Airport City experience for local, GBA, and global passengers to encourage non-aeronautical activities?“, our team developed a recommendation system with intuitive interface that expertly guides visitors through extensive “RETAILTAINMENT” offerings at SKYCITY.
The Tinder-inspired swiping interface was chosen as it leverages key psychological principles: users tend to value experiences more when they invest time and effort (also known as the IKEA Effect), and this gamified mechanism encourages continued engagement. Our proven model empowers us to deliver precise, tailored recommendations by integrating real-time location data with user preferences and comprehensive behavioral analytics.

Secret Sauce: Magic Unveiled.
At the heart of SkyRadar's recommendation engine lies a sophisticated hybrid model driven by Collaborative Filtering, an algorithm identifies patterns in user behavior to match individuals with similar preferences and interests. We've enhanced this foundation with a groundbreaking innovation: integrating real-time location data from iBeacon, the established infrastructure that tracks user positions through Wi-Fi hotspots. By incorporating location data in novel ways, we've created a uniquely powerful real-time personalized recommendations to optimize visitor flow throughout SKYCITY's retail ecosystem, enhancing overall shopping and dining experience.
