Key Takeaways
- NELBD runs across 17 North East Line MRT stations, with main hubs at Dhoby Ghaut and Punggol Coast.
- Sony’s showcases will be at Plaza Singapura, Temasek Shophouse and Nexus at Punggol Coast Mall.

Accessible gaming at Plaza Singapura and Punggol Coast
Visitors can try the Access controller for PlayStation 5, designed for players with disabilities, at Plaza Singapura on weekends and at Nexus, Punggol Coast Mall, daily. The “Game On, For All” showcase pairs accessibility with environmental awareness. At Temasek Shophouse, a Climate Station uses PS5 to turn climate data into an interactive experience.
AI and sensing installations
Two installations explore sensing technology, AI and creative expression. Nexus Music turns movement into music in real time, while Heartbeat Music, exclusive to Temasek Shophouse, uses facial movement tracking and heartbeat sensing to shape rhythms and lighting effects.
Sustainability and photography programmes
“Products with Purpose” at Plaza Singapura highlights the eco-conscious features of selected Sony products, including the WF-1000XM6 headphones and their packaging, which Sony says use circular materials.
At Temasek Shophouse, “Picturing New Perspectives with Sony and issyshoots” is a guided photowalk on 21 and 28 November, led by photographer and artist Isabelle Lim, who is deaf. A separate session, “Seeds of Emotion with Sony”, features Gerald Teo, Senior Manager at Design Center Asia, on how Sony turns sustainability principles into design.
NELBD is presented by the DesignSingapore Council and produced by FARM. Sony is a contributing partner.
