The new season will pick up in the aftermath of Season One’s epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas. To celebrate its return, Samsung TV Plus will offer the critically acclaimed first season subscription-free from December 3 through December 25, giving both new audiences and longtime fans a chance to revisit — or discover — the world of Fallout before Season Two arrives on Prime Video.

In the example scenario, we add a Coupon type card to a user device from a partner’s server using this API without any user interaction. System requirements The Adding Wallet Cards API has the following prerequisites: New Samsung Wallet users must first complete the onboarding procedure and obtain the required security certificates. Create a new Coupon card template through the Wallet Partners Portal and launch the card. As a partner you can also create a card template through the partner server. For more details, refer to the Create Samsung Wallet Card Templates Using the Server API. Using the Adding Wallet Cards API requires explicit permission from Samsung. Contact Samsung Developer Support for authorization. API fundamentals This RESTful interface enables partners to deliver wallet cards directly to user accounts from their servers. Endpoint: The service URL where card addition requests are processed. https://tsapi-card.walletsvc.samsung.com/atw/v1/cards/{cardId} Headers: Only verified partners can utilize this API. Header information establishes secure communication between the partner and Samsung servers. Authorization: Bearer token authentication. Refer to JSON Web Token documentation for specifications. x-smcs-partner-id: Your unique partner identifier required for API access. x-request-id: A unique UUID string that identifies each request. Body: Must include a cdata parameter containing a JWT token with card details and user account information. Detailed API specifications are available in the official documentation. API implementation process The Adding Wallet Cards API enables partners to deliver cards directly to the user's account or wallet. Follow this step-by-step approach to implement the API. For a better understanding of the overall process, download the sample source code. Step 1: Cryptographic key management Extract necessary keys from security certificates for JWT token generation in subsequent steps. Public key retrieval The following function extracts public keys from partner.crt and samsung.crt certificate files received during the onboarding process. def getPublicKey(crt_path): """ Extract public key from a .crt file. """ try: with open(crt_path, "rb") as f: crt_data = f.read() certificate = x509.load_pem_x509_certificate(crt_data, default_backend()) public_key = certificate.public_key() public_key_pem = public_key.public_bytes( encoding=serialization.Encoding.PEM, format=serialization.PublicFormat.SubjectPublicKeyInfo ) return public_key_pem except Exception as error: print(f"Error reading public key from {crt_path}: {error}") return None Private key retrieval This function retrieves the private key from the .pem file generated during the onboarding process. def getPrivateKey(pem_path): ''' Extract private key from a .pem file. ''' try: with open(pem_path, "rb") as data: private_key = serialization.load_pem_private_key( data.read(), password=None, backend=default_backend() ) return private_key except Exception as error: print(f"Error reading private key from {pem_path}: {error}") return None Step 2: Authentication token creation Samsung validates each API request through an authorization token in JWT format. To generate a valid authentication token: Construct an authHeader with AUTH as the payload content type. Include the certificate ID from My account > Encryption Management in the Wallet Partners Portal. Build the payload using the authHeader structure. Generate the final authorization token. The following code snippet implements the steps above. def generateAuthToken(partnerId, certificateId, utcTimestamp, privateKey, cardId): auth_header = { "cty": "AUTH", "ver": 3, "certificateId": certificateId, "partnerId": partnerId, "utc": utcTimestamp, "alg": "RS256" } auth_payload = { "API": { "method": "POST", "path": f"/atw/v1/cards/{cardId}" }, } auth_token = jwt.encode( payload=auth_payload, key=privateKey, algorithm='RS256', headers=auth_header ) return auth_token Step 3: Card data token generation (cdata) The request payload requires a cdata parameter containing a JWT token with card information and user details. Follow these steps to construct the cdata token. Card information structure Build a card data object containing all necessary information about the card to be delivered and the target user account. cDataPayload = { "card": { "type": "coupon", "subType": "others", "data": [{ "refId": "e389dc8a-4616-494c-a8b3-80380f449fc2", "createdAt": 1727913600000, "updatedAt": 1727913600000, "language": "ko", "attributes": { "title": "Strawberry Icecream-1", "orderId": "order-001", "groupingId": "grouping-001", "mainImg": "https://djcpagh05u38x.cloudfront.net/wlt/kr/stg/IHGhULmHRiqfhI73YdQZcA/LDZf4FWLQ9i5iqoym1R2yw.png", "brandName": "Cioud Icecream", "expiry": 1762225720029, "issueDate": 1727913600000, "redeemDate": 1727913600489, "noticeDesc": "<div>▶Precautions<br>-This product is an example image and may be different from the actual product. <br>-Only available within the expiration date.<br><br>", "editableYn": "N", "deletableYn": "Y", "displayRedeemButtonYn": "N", "addToWalletCouponYn": "Y", "notificationYn": "Y", "appLinkLogo": "https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/O5iWMHHBRmiGA_4XDsXMiZThLd-wwu2ln6FBz6zNPdlmKif0i98sfHtWZkYzjan-Tw=w240-h480-rw", "appLinkName": "Cioud Icecream", "appLinkData": "https://www.samsung.com/us", "barcode.value": "1111222233334444", "barcode.serialType": "BARCODE", "barcode.ptFormat": "BARCODESERIAL", "barcode.ptSubFormat": "CODE128" }, }] }, "account": { "type": "email", "value": "[email protected]" } } Cdata JWT token construction Generate the JWT token using the following implementation. Additional information about the JWT format is available in the Card Data Token section of the Security documentation. def generateCDataToken(partnerId, samsungPublicKey, partnerPrivateKey, certificateId, utcTimestamp, data): jwe_header = { "alg": "RSA1_5", "enc": "A128GCM" } jwe_token = jwe.encrypt( data, samsungPublicKey, encryption=jwe_header["enc"], algorithm=jwe_header["alg"] ) print(f"jwe_token: \n{jwe_token}\n") jws_header = { "alg": "RS256", "cty": "CARD", "ver": 3, "certificateId": certificateId, "partnerId": partnerId, "utc": utcTimestamp, } jws_token = jws.sign( jwe_token, key=partnerPrivateKey, algorithm='RS256', headers=jws_header ) print(f"jws_token: \n{jws_token}\n") return jws_token Step 4: Build HTTP request and execute With all required components prepared, construct the card addition HTTP request using the following code structure: # --- Prepare JSON body (Python dictionary) --- c_data_json_body = { "cdata": cDataToken } # --- Build HTTP Request --- headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer " + authToken, "x-smcs-partner-id": partnerId, "x-request-id": requestId, "x-request-cc2": "KR", "Content-Type": "application/json" } # --- Execute HTTP Request --- try: response = requests.post(endpoint, json=c_data_json_body, headers=headers) response.raise_for_status() print("Wallet Card Added successfully: " + json.dumps(response.json())) except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: print("Failed to add Wallet Card:") print(f"Error: {e}") if response: print("Response body:", response.text) Running the application Once the four steps described above are implemented, open the sample project and do the following: Update the partner id, certificate id, and card id values in src/main.py with your actual credentials. Replace the partner.crt, samsung.crt and private_key.pem files with your credential files in the /cert directory. Install all dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file using command pip install -r requirements.txt. Run the main script using the command python src/main.py in the terminal. After successful execution of the requests, you will get a Success message. Get the full response code in the Response section of the documentation. A push notification is sent to the user’s device to confirm the successful card registration. Once this is done, open your Samsung wallet and navigate to the coupon card list and you will find the card there. Conclusion Now that you have familiarized yourself with the process of adding cards to the user device using the Adding Wallet Cards API, you can implement this logic to your server and use it to improve your card management.

Explore the following blog topic for detailed insights: Create Samsung Wallet Card Templates Using the Server API. Gift card specifications Before generating the Card Data token for the ‘Add to Samsung Wallet’ button, it’s essential to understand the structure of a sample gift card. Every gift card in Samsung Wallet is built from a defined set of data fields that determine how the card looks and functions. These fields are part of the card’s JSON structure and control everything from how the card title appears to how barcode data is delivered when scanned. The following examples illustrate how different card elements map to the gift card specifications. Each image highlights a specific group of parameters used when creating a gift card for Samsung Wallet. Basic gift card information This image illustrates the core elements that define the basic structure of a gift card in Samsung Wallet. It highlights the required fields—such as title, appLinkName, appLinkData, and appLinkLogo—which control the card’s main display name and linked actions. Optional parameters like bgImage enhance the visual design by allowing a custom background. Together, these specifications form the foundation of the card’s visible layout and branding. This image demonstrates the specification fields that define the card’s balance, expiration date, and barcode data in Samsung Wallet. This image illustrates how the barcode appears when the user taps the Pay button on the gift card. The displayed barcode corresponds to barcode.serialType, which specifies the presentation format (such as BARCODE or SERIALNUMBER). This configuration allows users to redeem their gift cards seamlessly by scanning the code at a merchant terminal. This image demonstrates the use of the csInfo field to store customer support information. Telephone number, email address, and website address information can all be stored in it. This image illustrates how the gift card’s display language adapts to the user's device language settings through the localization field. Localization allows the user to serve content in multiple languages. When a user sets their device to a specific language, the corresponding localized content is displayed on their device. These specifications collectively define how your gift card appears and behaves in Samsung Wallet. For more detailed insights, check out the comprehensive Gift Card document. Gift card JSON structure Once you’ve reviewed the gift card specifications, the next step is to define them in the JSON structure. This data structure contains all the parameters that describe your gift card—including its title, amount, expiration date, barcode details, and optional links. The JSON is used to generate the Card Data token, which securely transfers the card information when users tap ‘Add to Samsung Wallet’. The following is an example JSON file for a sample gift card: { "card": { "type": "giftcard", "subType": "others", "data": [ { "refId": {refId}, "createdAt": {createdAt}, "updatedAt": {updatedAt}, "language": "en", "attributes": { "title": "SAMPLE GIFT CARD", "eventId": "event-001", "logoImage": "https://djcpagh05u38x.cloudfront.net/wlt/kr/stg/IHGhULmHRiqfhI73YdQZcA/GhDKJ4z2Q5O23CwuXSupBg.png", "logoImage.darkUrl": "https://djcpagh05u38x.cloudfront.net/wlt/kr/stg/IHGhULmHRiqfhI73YdQZcA/zdzSwFKbTvuvAz35MSKmzw.png", "providerName": "Gift Card Provider name testing", "user": "John Smith", "csInfo": "{\"call\":\"(+82) 1588-3366\",\"website\":\"https://www.samsung.com/us/\"}", "appLinkLogo": "https://d3unf4s5rp9dfh.cloudfront.net/TANGO/03-11-2025-wallet-gift-card-applink-logo-image.png", "appLinkName": "Gift Card Link", "appLinkData": "https://developer.samsung.com/wallet", "bgImage": "https://d3unf4s5rp9dfh.cloudfront.net/TANGO/03-11-2025-wallet-gift-card-design-v2.png", "fontColor": "", "amount": "100P", "startDate": {startDate}, "endDate": {endDate}, "barcode.value": "SDC0102025", "barcode.serialType": "QRCODE", "barcode.ptFormat": "QRCODESERIAL", "barcode.ptSubFormat": "QR_CODE" }, "localization": [ { "language": "ko", "attributes": { "title": "삼성 월렛" } } ] } ] } } NoteIf you do not specify a fontColor value, it automatically adapts to your system settings. For instance, in dark mode, the font color is light, and in light mode, it is dark.

    November 2025 Unified In-App Item Types for Samsung In-App Purchase (IAP) The ability to designate in-app items as consumable or non-consumable during their registration has been deprecated. Registration of items that distinguish between these types will end in this year, becoming unavailable after 2025. Instead, the quality of whether an item is consumable (one that can be repurchased) or non-consumable (one that cannot be repurchased) is determined by the choice of method that called after the item purchase. In other words, after an item defined as consumable is purchased in the application, calling the consumePurchasedItems() method processes consumption and allows the user to repurchase it. After an item defined as non-consumable is purchased in the application, calling acknowledgePurchases() confirms the purchase and prevents repurchase, but the item can be used indefinitely without expiration. Allowing the application to dynamically determine an item’s properties, rather than setting them at the time of registration either in the Seller Portal or through the Publish API, can reduce development complexity and improve flexibility.

Learn more LoRA.rar: Learning to Merge LoRAs via Hypernetworks for Subject-Style Conditioned Image Generation Recently, there has been growing interest in personalized image generation technology that can capture particular subjects or styles using only a few reference images. LoRA (Low-Rank Adapter), in particular, is able to deliver high-quality, personalized results from small datasets. Open-source platforms such as Civitai and HuggingFace are sharing a wide range of pre-trained LoRA parameters. However, merging different subjects and styles requires the manual adjustments of coefficients used to combine LoRAs, which is becoming a limitation for real-time applications on resource-constrained devices like smartphones. To address this challenge, Samsung R&D Institute United Kingdom introduces "LoRA.rar," a hypernetwork-based method for merging LoRAs.

Learn more LittleBit: Ultra Low-Bit Quantization via Latent Factorization Large Language Models (LLMs) are innovative technology, but their massive size presents a significant barrier to deployment. The huge memory (especially the usage of GPU VRAM) and computational costs make it difficult to run these powerful models on consumer-grade or edge devices. Quantization, the process of reducing the numerical precision of model weights, is a typical solution to address this issue, but realization of ultralight LLM remains a critical challenge due to severe performance degradation in the "sub-1-bit" area where each weight is represented by less than one bit. This article explores LittleBit, a breakthrough method presented at NeurlPS 2025 that shatters this barrier. LittleBit enables extreme LLM compression down to levels like 0.1 bits per weight (BPW). This achieves a nearly 31x memory reduction, capable of shrinking a large-scale model like Llama2-13B to under 0.9 GB. LittleBit goes beyond simple 1-bit models and achieving compression down to the 0.1-bit level, demonstrating that high-performance LLMs can run even in highly resource-constrained environments.

    In a previous blog article, we learned how we could utilize Samsung Wallet's RP SDK in order to verify a user's identity from an Android application. In this tutorial, we learn how to verify a user's identity directly from a website using Samsung Wallet and its Web2App API in a Spring Boot web server. Prerequisites The process described has the following prerequisites: A valid US driver's license or state ID for the user whose identity is to be verified The Samsung Galaxy device used needs to be registered for the US region and have mDL support Complete the Samsung Wallet Partner onboarding process Create a Wallet Card template with the Relying Party type in the Samsung Wallet Partners Portal Implementing the Verify with Wallet functionality in your website The Verify with Wallet (VWW) process utilizing the Web2App method consists of two distinct parts. The "Verify with Samsung Wallet" button. This button contains the VWW link with the RP card data tokenized as the CData. The user can click this VWW link to initiate the verification process. The partner server containing the /key and /auth endpoints. The partner server processes the requests sent from the Samsung Wallet application and handles the complete VWW process. Frontend configuration In order to initiate the Verify with Wallet process, we need to implement a "Verify with Samsung Wallet" button in a webpage. Implementing the button is a very simple process similar to creating a traditional "Add to Wallet" button. We can make use of the data transmit link approach and create a button that contains the VWW link: https://a.swallet.link/vww/v1/{cardId}#Clip?cdata={cdata} Replace {cardId} with the ID of your own card. Meanwhile, the CData value needs to be generated in real time. This is done using a process similar to generating CData for ATW operation, only with the payload contained being different according to the specification for the Relying Party card type. Check out the sample code for the complete process of CData generation and using it in the button. Backend configuration Once the button implementation is complete, you need to configure your server to handle the exchange of information between your server and Samsung Wallet application. The VWW process requires the partner to define 2 API endpoints: /rp/v1.0/{cardId}/{refId}/key: Establishes a secure session and prepares the request data for the process. /rp/v1.0/{cardId}/{refId}/auth: Processes encrypted authentication data and mDL data received from the Wallet application. The workflow for the information exchange is as follows: Once the VWW button is clicked, the Samsung Wallet application opens. Samsung Wallet checks if the device has a driver's license already enrolled in the device. If an mDL already exists on the device, the Samsung Wallet application calls the /key endpoint to establish a session. After establishing session with the partner server and retrieving the mDoc request, the Samsung Wallet application prompts the user to confirm if they wish to share their information with the partner. After the user confirms that they wish to proceed, the application finally sends the requested information to the /auth API to complete the VWW process. Define the /key endpoint When the user clicks the "Verify with Samsung Wallet" button, the Samsung Wallet application first checks if a driver's license is enrolled. If a license is found, the application generates "device engagement bytes" in accordance with the ISO-18013-5 specification. These bytes are then transmitted to the server's /key API endpoint to establish a verification session. The POST request body is JSON with a single field called data. This field value is the JWT containing encrypted device engagement bytes. {"data": "………"} In the /key API endpoint, Accept the POST request sent to the path /{cardId}/{refId}/key Extract the data field from the body as the JWT and decrypt it to receive the device engagement bytes. Establish a session using the device engagement bytes. Create the mDoc request data and send it back to the Samsung Wallet application as response to the POST request. The complete process is shown below: @PostMapping("{cardId}/{refId}/key") fun receiveKey( @PathVariable cardId: String, @PathVariable refId: String, @RequestBody body: String ): ResponseEntity<String> { val cData = JsonParser.parseString(body).asJsonObject.get("data").toString() val base64EngagementBytes = JwtGen.decryptBase64Engagement(cData) val mDoc18013 = createMDoc10813(base64EngagementBytes) val cdataResponse = "{\"data\": \"${JwtGen.generateRequestJwt(mDoc18013)}\"}" return ResponseEntity.ok().contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).body(cdataResponse) } Decrypt the device engagement bytes from the request body The data field value received in the /key API contains the required device engagement bytes encoded in the JWT format. Simply decrypt the JWT in order to retrieve the device engagement bytes. Here the decryptBase64Engagement() function is defined as follows: fun decryptBase64Engagement(data: String): ByteArray { val signedJWT: SignedJWT = SignedJWT.parse(data) val payload = signedJWT.payload val jwe = JWEObject.parse(payload.toString()) val partnerPrivateKey = KeyUtil.readPrivateKey(PARTNER_PRIVATE_KEY) val decrypter = RSADecrypter(partnerPrivateKey) jwe.decrypt(decrypter) val base64Engagement = jwe.payload.toJSONObject().get("data").toString() val base64EngagementBytes = Base64.getUrlDecoder().decode(base64Engagement) return base64EngagementBytes } Simply perform the JWT decryption operation using your private key to get the decrypted JWE payload in the JSON format. In the JSON-formatted payload, the data field contains the device engagement bytes encoded in the base64URL string format. Decode the string using a base64URL decoder and you get the final device engagement bytes. Create a shared session using device engagement bytes The createMDoc10813(base64EngagementBytes) function creates a shared session between the /key API and /auth API using a companion object. Having a shared session between the two endpoints is mandatory in order to decrypt the information provided by the Samsung Wallet application later on. Inside the companion object, we also need to generate an elliptic curve keypair in order to establish the encrypted session. The companion object is defined as shown below: companion object{ val keyPair = KeyUtil.generateEcKeyPair() var mDoc18013: Mdoc18013? = null fun createMDoc10813(base64EngagementBytes: ByteArray): Mdoc18013 { if (mDoc18013 == null ) { mDoc18013 = Mdoc18013(keyPair, base64EngagementBytes ) return mDoc18013!! } else{ return mDoc18013!! } } fun getMDoc10813(): Mdoc18013 { return mDoc18013!! } } The elliptic curve keypair is generated using a simple KeyPairGenerator class instance. fun generateEcKeyPair(): KeyPair { val keyPairGenerator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("EC") val ecGenParameterSpec = ECGenParameterSpec("secp256r1") keyPairGenerator.initialize(ecGenParameterSpec) return keyPairGenerator.generateKeyPair() } Prepare the mDoc request data Preparing the mDoc request data is the most crucial part of the VWW operation. The request data defines the data that needs to be retrieved from mDL. The generateRequestJwt() function can be divided into several parts: Define and encode the request data payload. Encrypt the device request. Create session establishment data using the encrypted device request bytes. Create a signed JWT. Below, we go through these steps one at a time. Define the request data payload and encode it to a CBOR Byte Array // Define requested data fields val requestData = """ { "docType": "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL", "nameSpaces": { "org.iso.18013.5.1": { "family_name": true, "age_in_years": true, "issue_date": true, "expiry_date": true, "document_number": false, "issuing_authority": false }, "org.iso.18013.5.1.aamva": { "DHS_compliance": false } } } """.trimIndent() // CBOR encoding process with tagging val firstEncoded = CBORObject.FromJSONString(requestData).EncodeToBytes() val thirdEncoded = CBORObject.FromObjectAndTag(firstEncoded, 24).EncodeToBytes() val itemRequestBytesList = listOf(thirdEncoded) // Create mDoc items requests array val docRequestsArray = CBORObject.NewArray() itemRequestBytesList.forEach { val docRequest = CBORObject.NewMap() docRequest.set("itemsRequest", CBORObject.DecodeFromBytes(it)) docRequestsArray.Add(docRequest) } // Create device request using docRequestArray val deviceRequest = CBORObject.NewMap() deviceRequest.set("version", CBORObject.FromObject("1.0")) deviceRequest.set("docRequests", docRequestsArray) Encrypt the device request val encryptedDeviceRequestBytes = mDoc18013.encryptDeviceRequest(deviceRequest.EncodeToBytes()) Create session establishment data using the encrypted device request bytes val establishment = CBORObject.NewMap() establishment.set("eReaderKey", CBORObject.FromObjectAndTag(mDoc18013.getEReaderKey(),24)) establishment.set("data", CBORObject.FromObject(encryptedDeviceRequestBytes)) val establishmentString = Base64.getUrlEncoder().encodeToString(establishment.EncodeToBytes()) Create a signed JWT using the establishmentString as the JWE payload val jweObj = JWEObject(JWEHeader.Builder(JWEAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP_256, EncryptionMethod.A128GCM).build(), Payload(establishmentString)) val encryptor = RSAEncrypter(samsungPublicKey as RSAPublicKey) jweObj.encrypt(encryptor) val jwsHeader = JWSHeader.Builder(JWSAlgorithm.RS256) .contentType("AUTH") .customParam("partnerId", "412255212345678910") .customParam("certificateId", "A123") .customParam("ver", "3") .customParam("utc", System.currentTimeMillis()) .build() val jwsObj = JWSObject(jwsHeader, Payload(jweObj.serialize())) val rsaJwk = RSAKey.Builder(partnerPublicKey as RSAPublicKey).privateKey(partnerPrivateKey).build() val jwsSigner = RSASSASigner(rsaJwk) jwsObj.sign(jwsSigner) return jwsObj.serialize() Now, we can send this JWT back as the response from the /key API. If everything is done properly, the Samsung Wallet application should receive the verification request along with the list of requested fields. After processing and verifying the request, the Samsung Wallet application needs to prompt the user to verify their identity. Once the user verifies their identity using the application, it sends the requested information back to the /auth API endpoint. Next, let's define the /auth API endpoint to retrieve the requested information. Define the /auth API endpoint Similar to the previously defined /key API endpoint, the /auth API endpoint also receives a single JSON payload with a single field called data, which contains the requested information in a JWT encoded format. {"data": "………"} Decrypt the JWT payload from the request body We can extract the data field and decrypt the JWT following the same process used in the /key API. @PostMapping("{cardId}/{refId}/auth") fun receiveAuth( @PathVariable cardId: String, @PathVariable refId: String, @RequestBody body: String ): HttpStatus { val responseData = JsonParser.parseString(body).asJsonObject.get("data").toString() val signedJWT: SignedJWT = SignedJWT.parse(responseData) val payload = signedJWT.payload val jwe = JWEObject.parse(payload.toString()) val partnerPrivateKey = JwtGen.partnerPrivateKey val decrypter = RSADecrypter(partnerPrivateKey) jwe.decrypt(decrypter) // Process and decrypt the data until the requested information is retrieved return HttpStatus.OK } After the decryption operation, we get another JSON object in the decrypted JWE payload. In this JSON payload, the data field contains the encoded data of the information we requested. To decode and decrypt this data: Decode the extracted data field value using Base64URL decoder. This gives us the encrypted mDoc response in a CBOR byte array. Decode the CBOR object from the byte array and get the mDoc data from the data field. Decrypt the mDoc data using the mDoc18013.decryptMdocResponse() function to retrieve the plain response in the JSON format. WarningThe mDoc18013 instance used for this step must be the same instance used in the /key API. Otherwise, the decryption operation fails. val mDoc18013 = getMDoc10813() val cborData = jwe.payload.toJSONObject().get("data").toString() val decodedData = Base64.getUrlDecoder().decode(cborData) val mDocResponse = CBORObject.DecodeFromBytes(decodedData) val mDocData = mDocResponse.get("data") val decryptMdocResponseBytes = mDoc18013.decryptMdocResponse(mDocData.GetByteString()) val plainResponse = CBORObject.DecodeFromBytes(decryptMdocResponseBytes).ToJSONString() After these steps, we finally have the mDoc response in a plain JSON format. { "status": 0, "version": "1.0", "documents": [ { "docType": "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL", "deviceSigned": {}, "issuerSigned": { "issuerAuth": ["......."], "nameSpaces": { "org.iso.18013.5.1": [ "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBkhfWZyYW5kb21Uczc4ZnY4c2NoNGMyZHR5MnlyOTZxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJsYWdlX2luX3llYXJzbGVsZW1lbnRWYWx1ZRgs", "pGhkaWdlc3………" ], "org.iso.18013.5.1.aamva": [ "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBlLD2ZyYW5kb21Uczh5cmptbTU4OHMyNzY4emozNm5xZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJuREhTX2NvbXBsaWFuY2VsZWxlbWVudFZhbHVlYUY" ] } } } ] } Here, the values inside the org.iso.18013.5.1 and org.iso.18013.5.1.aamva are the fields we initially requested in the Key API. Simply decode these CBOR-encoded fields to retrieve the information you requested. For example, the "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBkhfWZyYW5kb21Uczc4ZnY4c2NoNGMyZHR5MnlyOTZxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJsYWdlX2luX3llYXJzbGVsZW1lbnRWYWx1ZRgs" value informs us that element name is age_in_years and its value is "44," meaning the subject is 44 years old. We can extract the rest of the requested information by decoding the other provided values in the same way.

This is done using a process similar to generating CData for ATW operation, only with the payload contained being different according to the specification for the Relying Party card type. Check out the sample code for the complete process of CData generation and using it in the button. Backend configuration Once the button implementation is complete, you need to configure your server to handle the exchange of information between your server and Samsung Wallet application. The VWW process requires the partner to define 2 API endpoints: /rp/v1.0/{cardId}/{refId}/key: Establishes a secure session and prepares the request data for the process. /rp/v1.0/{cardId}/{refId}/auth: Processes encrypted authentication data and mDL data received from the Wallet application. The workflow for the information exchange is as follows: Once the VWW button is clicked, the Samsung Wallet application opens. Samsung Wallet checks if the device has a driver's license already enrolled in the device. If an mDL already exists on the device, the Samsung Wallet application calls the /key endpoint to establish a session. After establishing session with the partner server and retrieving the mDoc request, the Samsung Wallet application prompts the user to confirm if they wish to share their information with the partner. After the user confirms that they wish to proceed, the application finally sends the requested information to the /auth API to complete the VWW process. Define the /key endpoint When the user clicks the "Verify with Samsung Wallet" button, the Samsung Wallet application first checks if a driver's license is enrolled. If a license is found, the application generates "device engagement bytes" in accordance with the ISO-18013-5 specification. These bytes are then transmitted to the server's /key API endpoint to establish a verification session. The POST request body is JSON with a single field called data. This field value is the JWT containing encrypted device engagement bytes. {"data": "………"} In the /key API endpoint, Accept the POST request sent to the path /{cardId}/{refId}/key Extract the data field from the body as the JWT and decrypt it to receive the device engagement bytes. Establish a session using the device engagement bytes. Create the mDoc request data and send it back to the Samsung Wallet application as response to the POST request. The complete process is shown below: @PostMapping("{cardId}/{refId}/key") fun receiveKey( @PathVariable cardId: String, @PathVariable refId: String, @RequestBody body: String ): ResponseEntity<String> { val cData = JsonParser.parseString(body).asJsonObject.get("data").toString() val base64EngagementBytes = JwtGen.decryptBase64Engagement(cData) val mDoc18013 = createMDoc10813(base64EngagementBytes) val cdataResponse = "{\"data\": \"${JwtGen.generateRequestJwt(mDoc18013)}\"}" return ResponseEntity.ok().contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).body(cdataResponse) } Decrypt the device engagement bytes from the request body The data field value received in the /key API contains the required device engagement bytes encoded in the JWT format. Simply decrypt the JWT in order to retrieve the device engagement bytes. Here the decryptBase64Engagement() function is defined as follows: fun decryptBase64Engagement(data: String): ByteArray { val signedJWT: SignedJWT = SignedJWT.parse(data) val payload = signedJWT.payload val jwe = JWEObject.parse(payload.toString()) val partnerPrivateKey = KeyUtil.readPrivateKey(PARTNER_PRIVATE_KEY) val decrypter = RSADecrypter(partnerPrivateKey) jwe.decrypt(decrypter) val base64Engagement = jwe.payload.toJSONObject().get("data").toString() val base64EngagementBytes = Base64.getUrlDecoder().decode(base64Engagement) return base64EngagementBytes } Simply perform the JWT decryption operation using your private key to get the decrypted JWE payload in the JSON format. In the JSON-formatted payload, the data field contains the device engagement bytes encoded in the base64URL string format. Decode the string using a base64URL decoder and you get the final device engagement bytes. Create a shared session using device engagement bytes The createMDoc10813(base64EngagementBytes) function creates a shared session between the /key API and /auth API using a companion object. Having a shared session between the two endpoints is mandatory in order to decrypt the information provided by the Samsung Wallet application later on. Inside the companion object, we also need to generate an elliptic curve keypair in order to establish the encrypted session. The companion object is defined as shown below: companion object{ val keyPair = KeyUtil.generateEcKeyPair() var mDoc18013: Mdoc18013? = null fun createMDoc10813(base64EngagementBytes: ByteArray): Mdoc18013 { if (mDoc18013 == null ) { mDoc18013 = Mdoc18013(keyPair, base64EngagementBytes ) return mDoc18013!! } else{ return mDoc18013!! } } fun getMDoc10813(): Mdoc18013 { return mDoc18013!! } } The elliptic curve keypair is generated using a simple KeyPairGenerator class instance. fun generateEcKeyPair(): KeyPair { val keyPairGenerator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("EC") val ecGenParameterSpec = ECGenParameterSpec("secp256r1") keyPairGenerator.initialize(ecGenParameterSpec) return keyPairGenerator.generateKeyPair() } Prepare the mDoc request data Preparing the mDoc request data is the most crucial part of the VWW operation. The request data defines the data that needs to be retrieved from mDL. The generateRequestJwt() function can be divided into several parts: Define and encode the request data payload. Encrypt the device request. Create session establishment data using the encrypted device request bytes. Create a signed JWT. Below, we go through these steps one at a time. Define the request data payload and encode it to a CBOR Byte Array // Define requested data fields val requestData = """ { "docType": "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL", "nameSpaces": { "org.iso.18013.5.1": { "family_name": true, "age_in_years": true, "issue_date": true, "expiry_date": true, "document_number": false, "issuing_authority": false }, "org.iso.18013.5.1.aamva": { "DHS_compliance": false } } } """.trimIndent() // CBOR encoding process with tagging val firstEncoded = CBORObject.FromJSONString(requestData).EncodeToBytes() val thirdEncoded = CBORObject.FromObjectAndTag(firstEncoded, 24).EncodeToBytes() val itemRequestBytesList = listOf(thirdEncoded) // Create mDoc items requests array val docRequestsArray = CBORObject.NewArray() itemRequestBytesList.forEach { val docRequest = CBORObject.NewMap() docRequest.set("itemsRequest", CBORObject.DecodeFromBytes(it)) docRequestsArray.Add(docRequest) } // Create device request using docRequestArray val deviceRequest = CBORObject.NewMap() deviceRequest.set("version", CBORObject.FromObject("1.0")) deviceRequest.set("docRequests", docRequestsArray) Encrypt the device request val encryptedDeviceRequestBytes = mDoc18013.encryptDeviceRequest(deviceRequest.EncodeToBytes()) Create session establishment data using the encrypted device request bytes val establishment = CBORObject.NewMap() establishment.set("eReaderKey", CBORObject.FromObjectAndTag(mDoc18013.getEReaderKey(),24)) establishment.set("data", CBORObject.FromObject(encryptedDeviceRequestBytes)) val establishmentString = Base64.getUrlEncoder().encodeToString(establishment.EncodeToBytes()) Create a signed JWT using the establishmentString as the JWE payload val jweObj = JWEObject(JWEHeader.Builder(JWEAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP_256, EncryptionMethod.A128GCM).build(), Payload(establishmentString)) val encryptor = RSAEncrypter(samsungPublicKey as RSAPublicKey) jweObj.encrypt(encryptor) val jwsHeader = JWSHeader.Builder(JWSAlgorithm.RS256) .contentType("AUTH") .customParam("partnerId", "412255212345678910") .customParam("certificateId", "A123") .customParam("ver", "3") .customParam("utc", System.currentTimeMillis()) .build() val jwsObj = JWSObject(jwsHeader, Payload(jweObj.serialize())) val rsaJwk = RSAKey.Builder(partnerPublicKey as RSAPublicKey).privateKey(partnerPrivateKey).build() val jwsSigner = RSASSASigner(rsaJwk) jwsObj.sign(jwsSigner) return jwsObj.serialize() Now, we can send this JWT back as the response from the /key API. If everything is done properly, the Samsung Wallet application should receive the verification request along with the list of requested fields. After processing and verifying the request, the Samsung Wallet application needs to prompt the user to verify their identity. Once the user verifies their identity using the application, it sends the requested information back to the /auth API endpoint. Next, let's define the /auth API endpoint to retrieve the requested information. Define the /auth API endpoint Similar to the previously defined /key API endpoint, the /auth API endpoint also receives a single JSON payload with a single field called data, which contains the requested information in a JWT encoded format. {"data": "………"} Decrypt the JWT payload from the request body We can extract the data field and decrypt the JWT following the same process used in the /key API. @PostMapping("{cardId}/{refId}/auth") fun receiveAuth( @PathVariable cardId: String, @PathVariable refId: String, @RequestBody body: String ): HttpStatus { val responseData = JsonParser.parseString(body).asJsonObject.get("data").toString() val signedJWT: SignedJWT = SignedJWT.parse(responseData) val payload = signedJWT.payload val jwe = JWEObject.parse(payload.toString()) val partnerPrivateKey = JwtGen.partnerPrivateKey val decrypter = RSADecrypter(partnerPrivateKey) jwe.decrypt(decrypter) // Process and decrypt the data until the requested information is retrieved return HttpStatus.OK } After the decryption operation, we get another JSON object in the decrypted JWE payload. In this JSON payload, the data field contains the encoded data of the information we requested. To decode and decrypt this data: Decode the extracted data field value using Base64URL decoder. This gives us the encrypted mDoc response in a CBOR byte array. Decode the CBOR object from the byte array and get the mDoc data from the data field. Decrypt the mDoc data using the mDoc18013.decryptMdocResponse() function to retrieve the plain response in the JSON format. WarningThe mDoc18013 instance used for this step must be the same instance used in the /key API. Otherwise, the decryption operation fails. val mDoc18013 = getMDoc10813() val cborData = jwe.payload.toJSONObject().get("data").toString() val decodedData = Base64.getUrlDecoder().decode(cborData) val mDocResponse = CBORObject.DecodeFromBytes(decodedData) val mDocData = mDocResponse.get("data") val decryptMdocResponseBytes = mDoc18013.decryptMdocResponse(mDocData.GetByteString()) val plainResponse = CBORObject.DecodeFromBytes(decryptMdocResponseBytes).ToJSONString() After these steps, we finally have the mDoc response in a plain JSON format. { "status": 0, "version": "1.0", "documents": [ { "docType": "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL", "deviceSigned": {}, "issuerSigned": { "issuerAuth": ["......."], "nameSpaces": { "org.iso.18013.5.1": [ "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBkhfWZyYW5kb21Uczc4ZnY4c2NoNGMyZHR5MnlyOTZxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJsYWdlX2luX3llYXJzbGVsZW1lbnRWYWx1ZRgs", "pGhkaWdlc3………" ], "org.iso.18013.5.1.aamva": [ "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBlLD2ZyYW5kb21Uczh5cmptbTU4OHMyNzY4emozNm5xZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJuREhTX2NvbXBsaWFuY2VsZWxlbWVudFZhbHVlYUY" ] } } } ] } Here, the values inside the org.iso.18013.5.1 and org.iso.18013.5.1.aamva are the fields we initially requested in the Key API. Simply decode these CBOR-encoded fields to retrieve the information you requested. For example, the "pGhkaWdlc3RJRBkhfWZyYW5kb21Uczc4ZnY4c2NoNGMyZHR5MnlyOTZxZWxlbWVudElkZW50aWZpZXJsYWdlX2luX3llYXJzbGVsZW1lbnRWYWx1ZRgs" value informs us that element name is age_in_years and its value is "44," meaning the subject is 44 years old. We can extract the rest of the requested information by decoding the other provided values in the same way.

    The 2025 Asian World Film Festival (AWFF) returned to Culver City with a constellation of films from across Asia — stories shaped by tradition, creativity and imagination. As the festival’s premier partner, Samsung Electronics brought its Onyx Cinema LED technology to the center of this celebration, offering audiences a viewing experience that honored the craft behind each film. Now in its 11th year, AWFF continues its mission of elevating Asian filmmakers onto the global stage. This year, Samsung’s participation added something quietly meaningful: not a new layer of technology, but a new level of care in how each story meets its audience. Filmmakers See Their Stories in a New Light For many directors premiering work at AWFF, seeing their films on an Onyx Cinema LED screen was more than a technical upgrade, it was a moment of recognition. With traditional projection, even subtle variations in brightness, shadow or color can shift the experience away from how a film should have felt. But inside the Onyx auditoriums, filmmakers found the version of their film that most closely resembled what they created in the grading suite. ▲ “Al Chang’s short film Cindy is presented on the Samsung Onyx Cinema LED screen at AWFF.” ▲ Al Chang, director of “Cindy,” talks about the story behind his film at the Asian World Film Festival backdrop. For Al Chang, director of the short film “Cindy,” the difference was immediate. After screening films in a wide range of theaters, he was struck by the consistency and clarity: “I’ve had short films screen in a lot of theaters, and there’s always some variation — washed-out blacks or colors that don’t translate the way we graded them. Here, it was like watching it on my own TV.” Executive producer Kira T. Bixby, whose film “Rooftop” tells a Korean American story rooted in Los Angeles, emphasized how much the image supported the story’s emotion. “Everything really popped for us — the colors, the compositions, the details we worked so hard to craft,” she said. “Film is such a visual language, so how you’re able to see it really matters.” “Seeing movies presented with this level of precision gives filmmakers confidence that their work is being treated with respect.” — Asel Sherniyazova, Co-Founder and Managing Director, AWFF The experience resonated with filmmakers from the Korean Parallel Smartphone Film Festival (KPSFF) as well — a program that empowers creators and performers, including those with disabilities, to make films using smartphones. Seeing their work on a large LED cinema screen was both unexpected and affirming. Director Byun Seung Chae, known for her color-driven storytelling, recalled the moment the film began: “What struck me right away was how unbelievably clear the image was. The colors were beautiful, and I was amazed that a film could look that sharp on such a large screen. I turned to the person next to me and said, ‘I didn’t expect it to look this good!’” ▲ “Directors Byun Seung Chae (left) and Han Kyoung Woo join audiences inside the Onyx auditorium during the KPSFF program.” LA-based filmmaker Zenon Samuels, who attended the festival and works extensively with nighttime visuals and neon-heavy palettes, echoed that sentiment after experiencing an Onyx screening for the first time. “The blacks are super dark, and with a film that’s so bright and colorful, the high dynamic range made the colors really pop and helped bring the energy and nighttime aesthetic to life.” ▲ “LA-based filmmaker Zenon Samuels shares their viewing experience following an Onyx auditorium screening.” Together, these voices reflected a consistent theme: Onyx didn’t alter their films — it respected and faithfully recreated the choices behind them. For directors and performers seeing their work in this format, the experience felt both cinematic and deeply personal. Audiences Rediscover What Cinemas Can Be With Samsung Onyx Festivalgoers — many encountering Onyx for the first time — described a level of clarity and contrast that felt distinct from traditional projection. New York attendees Jack Joyce and Matthew Gallopo noted how the presentation shaped their experience: “Those darker colors — and not having that graininess — kind of put you in the moment a little bit. It was cool,” Joyce said. Gallopo added, “The color certainly popped, and a lot of it was pretty crisp.” ▲ “Festival attendees, Matthew Gallopo (left) and Jack Joyce (right) talk about their impression of the Onyx screen at AWFF 2025.” For some, the impact was emotional as much as technical. Entertainment lawyer Jesse Weiner, who watches films professionally as part of his work, noted how the detail and richness altered the way he connected with the narrative unfolding onscreen. “Watching this film on Samsung Onyx, the picture was bright, rich… about as good as I can imagine seeing a film with that kind of quality and texture,” he added. “It looked very lifelike — almost like being immersed in the action of the film.” ▲ “Jesse Weiner, a New York–based entertainment lawyer, describes how the picture quality influenced the way he connected with the film.” Others reflected on what experiences like this might mean for the future of theaters. As streaming, gaming and home entertainment rapidly evolve, festivalgoers were struck by how an elevated cinema environment can bring people together again. “Innovations in the cinema industry should help audiences truly see the story, and Samsung’s Onyx screens do just that.” — Georges N. Chamchoum, Executive Director, AWFF Across ages, backgrounds and filmmaking experience, the audience conversations pointed to the same conclusion: cinema remains powerful — and when the screen elevates rather than competes with the storytelling, the theatrical experience becomes even more compelling. ▲ “The Culver Theater lobby buzzes with filmmakers, audiences and industry guests as AWFF 2025 unfolds.” A Thoughtful Dialogue on the Future of Cinema At this year’s festival, Samsung also hosted the panel discussion “Redefining the Cinema Experience with Samsung Onyx,” bringing together leading voices shaping the craft and technology of modern filmmaking. The panel featured: Glenn Gainor, CEO & Producer, Hollywood Ventures Group Steven Poster (ASC, CSC), Board Member, 6P Color; President Emeritus, International Cinematographers Guild Local 600 Philip Holland, Director, Cinematographer, Digital Cinema Specialist & Color Scientist Craig German, Former C-Suite Executive, Amazon Studios and Paramount Over the hour-long conversation, the panelists explored how advancements in HDR, color accuracy and display technology are reshaping both creative possibility and audience expectation. Much of the discussion focused on how deeper blacks, wider color gamuts and consistent presentation can reinforce cinematic emotion rather than alter it. “We had the ability to capture [the darkest of dark and the brightest of bright] on film, but not to project it — until now.” — Glenn Gainor, Head of Production, Hollywood Ventures Group Gainor reflected on the shift in audience expectations as viewing environments improve across the board, noting, “Clearly, I work in the movie business, so my home system is probably pretty good. [But it’s] never going to be as good as what we just saw. This is an entirely different, immersive experience.” ▲ “Glenn Gainor (center) shares his perspective on the future of theatrical storytelling during the panel session, joined by cinematographers and experts from across the industry.” Steven Poster spoke to how companies and the technology they develop can support — not interfere with — creative intent. “Samsung was one of the first to listen to creators with filmmaker mode — and that really mattered,” he said. “Motion interpolation destroyed suspension of disbelief, and now we can have that back.” Holland pointed out how emissive displays strengthen emotional immersion by revealing details often lost in projection. “Because this tech can achieve such deep black, you don’t get milky shadows,” he said. “In a room like this, there were moments when you couldn’t see the edge of the frame — you felt like you were there.” ▲ “Philip Holland (far right) discusses the role of HDR and contrast in modern cinematic storytelling during the panel session.” That depth and precision became a larger theme as the panel discussed the creative range made possible by HDR. Gainor described it as an expansion of storytelling itself: “The art of storytelling allows us to get the darkest of dark and the brightest of bright.” Poster added: “We had the ability to capture it on film, but not to project it — until now.” ▲ “Panelists discuss the evolving landscape of theatrical storytelling during ‘The Future of Cinema Experience with Samsung Onyx’ session at AWFF 2025.” AWFF 2025: Where Art and Technology Meet During the festival, one theme echoed across screenings, hallways and panel rooms alike: when the viewing experience respects the filmmaker’s intent, the connection between audience and story becomes stronger. That idea also shaped how AWFF leadership reflected on this year’s partnership with Samsung. Executive Director Georges N. Chamchoum — an Emmy and multiple award-winning film director and producer — said, “AWFF has always been about cultural exchange, introducing Asian filmmakers to the world and giving their stories the visibility they deserve. Samsung’s support strengthens that mission.” He added that “innovations in the cinema industry should help audiences truly see the story, and Samsung’s Onyx screens do just that.” Co-Founder and Managing Director Asel Sherniyazova highlighted the responsibility of presenting films with care: “A film may travel across continents before reaching our stage. Seeing it presented with this level of precision gives filmmakers confidence that their work is being treated with respect.” ▲ “Executive Director Georges N. Chamchoum (left) and Co-Founder Asel Sherniyazova photographed at AWFF 2025, marking this year’s collaboration with Samsung.” Samsung’s role at AWFF 2025 reaffirmed that technology can amplify the heart of a story when used with care. By helping films reach audiences exactly as their creators intended, this year’s festival offered a promising look at how cinemas can continue to inspire, connect and bring stories to life. ▲ “The Culver Theater, where the 11th Asian World Film Festival brought together filmmakers and audiences from around the world.” View the full article

    In recent years, Korean culture has become one of the most dynamic forces in the global creative scene. From music and film to fashion and art, its influence now extends far beyond national borders, drawing new attention to the ideas and aesthetics that have shaped the region for centuries. Long before this renaissance, however, one painter was already building a bridge between Korea and the West, bringing a distinct Korean sense of rhythm and balance into the language of modern abstraction. Seundja Rhee (1918-2009) forged a singular abstract language between Seoul and Paris, translating the cycles of nature, cityscapes and cosmic symbolism into color and form. Long recognized by curators and historians for expanding the possibilities of post-war abstract art, Rhee is one of the earliest Korean women artists to gain international recognition in the genre. A newly curated selection of her works is now available on Samsung Art Store, offering a close-up experience of her art without the limitations of time and place. ▲ Samsung Electronics presents the works of Seundja Rhee, the pioneering first-generation Korean abstract artist, to a global audience through the Samsung Art Store. (Photo: Rhee preparing materials for an art piece in her studio on Procession Street, Paris 1977) Reintroducing a Modern Master of Abstract The launch of Rhee’s collection goes beyond a digital exhibition; it represents a unique collaboration between the extensive archives of Gallery Hyundai, which has dedicated years to documenting and researching her work, and Samsung’s innovative technology that brings new clarity into every layer of art. This partnership invites global audiences to rediscover a modern pioneer of abstract painting. Samsung Newsroom spoke with Young-Sook Kwon, director of Gallery Hyundai, about Seundja Rhee’s artistic legacy and the significance of bringing her work into the digital age. A Pioneer Who Pushed the Boundaries of Korean Abstract Art Q. How is Rhee recognized in Korean abstract art history? She is regarded as the first woman abstract artist in Korea, one who independently expanded the language of abstraction through continuous stylistic development. While in Paris, Rhee went studied abstract painting and sculpture at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, an institution known for shaping artists such as Pablo Picasso and Paul Gauguin. This experience deepened her appreciation for contemporary abstract art. In 1956, she debuted at the National Society of Fine Arts exhibition, where critic George Boudaille praised her work, marking her entry into the European art scene. Over her remarkable six-decade career, she endured both the hardships of a turbulent modern era and the personal constraints of a patriarchal and traditional society, overcoming that pain through art. Her style remains distinctive even within contemporary abstract art, portraying art as a creative energy that heals wounds and reflects on human existence, rather than the expressionists, who conveyed the unrestrained expression of their inner selves. Throughout her life, she imbued her work with a worldview that continually evolved and expanded. ▲ “A Mother I Remember” (1962), featured on the 2025 Samsung Neo QLED, is part of Rhee’s “Woman and Earth” series. The work captures the artist’s childhood memories of her mother and nostalgia for Korea. It’s available on Samsung Art Store. Q. What is the key theme or aesthetic characteristic that runs through her work? Her art reflects the pursuit of harmony with all things in the universe, a balance achieved through unity with nature and a long-standing virtue in Korean spiritual culture. Her ability to express this Eastern philosophy within the framework of Western abstract painting marks a significant contribution to both Korean and global art history. A phrase that aptly encapsulates her artistic vision could be: “Yin, Yang, and the Milky Way Flowing Between Them,” as proposed by art critic Eun-rok Shim in the book commemorating the 100th anniversary of Rhee’s birth. A phrase that, in my view, beautifully articulates her worldview. Samsung Art Store: A Digital Platform That Brings the Artist’s Touch and Spirit to Life Q. What significance does the extensive archive of Gallery Hyundai, which has worked closely with Rhee for nearly 70 years, hold in Korean art history, and how does it facilitate a re-examination of her artistic legacy? Our extensive archives provide a rich foundation for research from multiple perspectives. Seundja Rhee stands alongside Whanki Kim and Youngkuk Yoo as a pioneer of Korean abstract art, having boldly moved to Paris despite the hardships posed by the Korean War and gaining significant recognition there as a woman artist. In 1974, Gallery Hyundai’s founder, Myung-ja Park, hosted Rhee’s solo exhibition devoted entirely to her abstract works. It marked the beginning of the gallery’s longstanding support of Korea’s first woman abstract painter, who later became the gallery’s exclusive artist. Rhee’s story, one that charts a new abstract language distinct from the trajectory of Western modernism, continues to inspire artists of all generations who are shaped by different cultures. After a 20th century largely dominated by male narratives in contemporary art, our journey with Rhee stands as a significant milestone in art history, particularly at a moment when there is a renewed interest in revisiting the contributions of women artists. In 2018, Gallery Hyundai commemorated the 100th anniversary of Seundja Rhee’s birth with a major exhibition at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, drawing on its extensive artist archives. Building on this legacy, we are now preparing a new exhibition that will feature many materials not yet released to the public. Q. What motivated this collaboration with Samsung Art Store? What do you hope to achieve from making Rhee’s works accessible to the public? I believe that Samsung Art Store, as a digital platform that transcends physical boundaries, can introduce her work to audiences in many countries who might not have had the opportunity to experience it in person. I hope this collaboration allows more generations to discover the joy of engaging with her art. ▲ “The Snow from Vaugirard Street,” displayed on the 2025 Samsung Neo QLED, depicts the view from Rhee’s sixth-floor room in Montparnasse, where she moved in 1955. The painting captures Paris through a fractured sense of perspective, with simplified forms in the background and a snow-covered foreground that appears to reach towards the viewer. It’s available on Samsung Art Store. Q. How does the Art Store enhance the experience of Rhee’s work? Her paintings are known for their delicate, intricate layers that overlap the canvas. Her woodblock prints reveal her signature carving techniques — short, thick lines that taper to a fine point. On a digital screen, viewers can observe her unique touch more closely and take their time appreciating the spirit she infuses into each piece. This is the aspect of the collaboration I find most exciting. Q. How did you curate the collection for the Art Store? We selected representative pieces from different periods of her career, along with works of significant importance. The collection spans from her 1959 piece, marking a transition towards abstract art, to the “Cosmos” series created during her final years, tracing the evolution of her worldview throughout her life. Q. What are your top three works from Rhee available through the Art Store? 1. No. 1 “The Snow from Vaugirard Street” – completed five years after she began her journey in the art world. 2. No. 7 “A Mother I Remember” – a defining work from the 1960s. 3. No. 19 “A City of September” – her final painting. Q. Do you have a message for the public encountering her work for the first time through this launch? Life is never without challenges, and Rhee’s was no exception. Born in 1918 during the Japanese colonial period, she endured both personal loss and the upheavals of modern history. Yet, she maintained extraordinary courage and strength, using art to express essential themes such as communication, coexistence, and the joy of life. Through Samsung Art Store, I hope audiences will find a deep appreciation for the vibrancy of life that fills her canvases. ▲ “A City of September” (2008), displayed on the 2025 Samsung Neo QLED, is Rhee’s final work, completed at the age of 90. This piece reflects the culmination of her artistic journey, suggesting a return to the transcendent universe through a harmony of opposing forces in life. It’s available on Samsung Art Store. A Journey of Life That Becomes Art Q. What motivated her to consistently change her style of work and explore new themes? Rhee’s “Woman and Earth” series from the 1960s reflects her maternal love as a painter, capturing her longing for her sons and her desire to be a proud mother — feelings that continued until her first exhibition in Korea in 1965. Every brushstroke and carved line carries that nurturing spirit, as if she were offering a spoonful of rice to her children and gently patting them on the head. ▲ During the 1950s and 1960s, when few women artists were recognized, Rhee established herself in France through her exceptional talent and active participation in the local culture. Her perspective shifted from depicting life on the ground in the 1960s to capturing the city skyline in her “Superimposition” and vertical repetition in “The City” series in the 1970s. After returning to Seoul and reuniting with her sons in 1965, she found a renewed sense of emotional freedom. A visit to New York in 1969 was another turning point, as the skyscrapers and the city’s vibrant skyline left an impression on her. The night view from the Empire State Building, with its intermingling lights and rushing traffic, found its way into her art through intersecting lines and brighter colors. Rhee’s evolving approach to life is intricately reflected in her work, demonstrating her ongoing commitment to express meaningful messages through painting while contemplating the cycles of existence. In this way, her attitude towards life has been reflected in her works. I think she was able to continuously grow and evolve because she never stopped challenging herself to contemplate life along its cycles and to express the messages she wanted to share with the world through her paintings throughout the cycle of life.“ Q. How can we interpret her use of the ‘semicircle where Yin and Yang meet’ as a signature motif, and what is its significance? Rhee’s interest in art as a form of communication led her to explore symbols and geometric motifs that could transcend borders and languages. The image of the large Taegeuk pattern on the Sungnyemun Gate of the Royal Tomb of King Suro, which she visited with her father as a child, left a strong impression on her. She recalls passing through that gate, feeling as if she were escaping the oppressive reality of the Japanese colonial period and entering a mystical world. She expresses the idea of “coexistence of conflicting elements,” such as Yin and Yang, East and West, earth and sky, reality and ideal — all on a single canvas, creating her own universe. ▲ Milky Way, Rhee’s self-designed atelier, has been designated as a cultural heritage site by the French government. Its semicircular design symbolizes the balance of Yin and Yang. As you explore her work, may you also feel the depth of her intelligence, sensitivity and spirituality —qualities that grew stronger as she overcame adversity and found healing through art.

    G-Star 2025, Korea’s biggest gaming exhibition held November 13 through 21, kicked off at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO). At the event, Samsung Electronics showcased its next-generation immersive displays, including Spatial Signage and the Odyssey 3D gaming monitor in collaboration with Netmarble, one of Korea’s largest game publishers and developers. ▲ A G-Star 2025 visitor enjoys meeting Solo Leveling: KARMA protagonist Sung Jinwoo as he summons his shadow soldier, Igris, amid dazzling lights and effects on Samsung Electronics’ Spatial Signage at the entrance of Netmarble’s booth. This collaboration builds on Samsung’s ongoing partnership with Netmarble. Earlier this year, the two companies joined forces at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne to present the first-ever 3D mode of MONGIL: STAR DIVE on Odyssey 3D monitors. Now at G-Star, the collaboration took the experience a step further, allowing fans to meet their favorite game characters in life-sized 3D through Spatial Signage. ▲ G-STAR 2025 visitors experience immersive visuals through Samsung Electronics products, including Spatial Signage and Odyssey 3D, at Netmarble’s booth. Characters Come to Life in 3D: Spatial Signage Transforms the Exhibition Experience At Netmarble’s booth, Samsung Spatial Signage captivated attendees with an immersive 3D experience that plunged them into the game world like never before. Beloved characters appeared to leap from the screen, showcasing dynamic movement and breathtaking visual game effects that bring the action to life. “Since forming our 3D partnership with Samsung, we’ve worked together at Gamescom, the Tokyo Game Show, and the Brazil Game Show, closely monitoring user reactions,” said Lee Jung-ho, Game Publishing Director at Netmarble. “Using those insights, we’ve prepared a wide range of fresh and exciting content for G-Star 2025.” Spatial Signage can create stunning three-dimensional effects, making the characters appear genuinely alive, without the need for special 3D glasses. This groundbreaking technology quickly became one of the most exciting and attention-grabbing highlights among attendees. “I usually play games on a monitor, so seeing the characters on such a large screen felt completely different,” said visitor Lee Sun-jae. “Feeling that 3D depth without wearing glasses was amazing. It really felt like facing the game characters in real life.” Another visitor, Kim Gui-hee, added, “I could clearly feel the three-dimensional depth as if the character was moving inside a box. It was fascinating — it really looked like the character was moving right in front of me.” ▲ Spatial Signage captivates audiences by bringing characters from Netmarble’s popular titles to life, including Antares, the King of Dragons from Solo Leveling: KARMA. ▲ Lee Jung-ho, Game Publishing Director at Netmarble, explains how Samsung’s Spatial Signage brings characters like Pellia from EVILBANE to life as she elegantly steps forward to pose, creating a sense of lifelike immersion. Samsung’s Spatial Signage delivers a striking 3D effect without the need for bulky hologram boxes or special 3D glasses. With a slim profile of just 52mm, the display combines lifelike depth and realism with easy installation and versatile content applications. This innovation offers new opportunities to enhance customer experiences across a range of spaces, including pop-up stores, retail environments and exhibitions. “Spatial Signage is a next-generation exhibition platform that transcends traditional displays, seamlessly bridging the physical and virtual worlds,” said Lee Hwayul from the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “This innovative solution enhances the brand experience by creating more immersive environments, especially at high-engagement events like G-Star.” ▲ Netmarble’s booth hosts a special event at G-STAR 2025 encouraging visitors to share photos of their Spatial Signage experience on social media. “Traditional hologram devices are usually large, bulky, and old-fashioned in design,” Lee Jung-ho noted. “Samsung’s Spatial Signage, however, isn’t a hologram — it delivers true 3D visuals in an impressively slim form factor, which was truly remarkable.” He continued, “At G-Star 2025, two of our latest titles Solo Leveling: KARMA and EVILBANE are available for play for the first time. By presenting them on Samsung’s Spatial Signage, we’re giving visitors a chance to experience the games in a fresh and dynamic way.” Visitor Jang Jae-hyuk, who attended with his children, said, “I could really feel how much technology has advanced. My kids were thrilled to see Sung Jinwoo from Solo Leveling in such a large, lifelike way — and taking photos with him was a great bonus. I hope Spatial Signage will be installed in various museums and education centers across the country so more people can enjoy it.” ▲ Netmarble’s booth is designed to offer greater immersion in each game through various Samsung monitors, such as Odyssey 3D, G5 and OLED G8. Odyssey Gaming Zone: Immersive Play on 3D Monitors At Netmarble’s gaming zone, visitors were offered the chance to fully immerse themselves in the publisher’s new title, MONGIL: STAR DIVE, on Samsung’s Odyssey 3D gaming monitor (G90XF). The glasses-free 3D display uses advanced eye-tracking technology, offering a vivid gameplay experience that feels like stepping directly into the game world. The Odyssey 3D gaming monitor is equipped with a focal distance feature that controls 3D depth by adjusting the distance between the camera and the focus point. It also provides customizable 3D settings that optimize depth for each game by detecting the parallax between left and right images. With these features, users can truly enjoy a captivating 3D gaming environment. ▲ The queue (right) quickly grew for the glasses-free 3D gaming experience on the Samsung Odyssey 3D monitor (left). Building on these advancements, Samsung and Netmarble are working together to expand an ecosystem for immersive content by enhancing the overall quality of 3D game experiences. Combining Samsung’s leading display technology with Netmarble’s expertise in high-end graphics development, the 3D depth of character movements, battle scenes, and dynamic backgrounds comes to life with remarkable clarity. “Netmarble is pursuing a range of technological partnerships with Samsung to create the best possible environment for 3D gameplay,” said Lee Jung-ho. “The Odyssey 3D monitor has opened exciting new possibilities for immersion without 3D glasses, capturing the thrill of gaming in a whole new way. By finely tuning the 3D effects to match each scene in MONGIL: STAR DIVE, players can feel the tension of every battle and the emotion behind every character — and we’ve seen an enthusiastic response from visitors today.” From Watching to Experiencing: A Truly Immersive Display Samsung is revolutionizing how content comes to life across spaces, expanding beyond traditional flat screens to immersive three-dimensional spatial displays with cutting-edge products such as Spatial Signage and 3D gaming monitors. The recent collaboration with Netmarble at G-Star has been widely praised for moving past mere product sponsorship, merging storytelling and technology to engage visitors in new ways. “Spatial Signage will soon expand its reach across a wide range of areas, including exhibitions, art, education, in addition to gaming,” said Nam Yujin, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “This technology marks a pivotal shift from passive viewing to an active, engaging visual experience where immersion and interaction thrive.” With innovations like Spatial Signage and Odyssey 3D gaming monitors, Samsung continues to set new standards for immersion and engagement across the industry.

    The Galaxy Watch ecosystem is designed for seamless connection from capturing screenshots that sync automatically to your phone, to sharing what's on your wrist in seconds. This works great for most users. However, if you’re a developer, tester, or creator who prefers working directly on a computer, there’s a more efficient, hands-on way to capture your Galaxy Watch’s display. Using Command Prompt (or Windows Terminal) and Android Debug Bridge (ADB), you can directly screen record or capture screenshots from your Galaxy Watch without needing a companion mobile device or any third-party apps. It’s fast, simple, and perfect for creating app demos, tutorials, or development documentation. Record your Galaxy Watch screen via ADB Follow these steps to record your Galaxy Watch screen directly from your computer: Open the Command Prompt and use the cd command to navigate to the platform-tools folder: cd %LocalAppData%/Android/Sdk/platform-tools Pair and connect your Galaxy Watch to your computer over Wi-Fi. NoteThe link directs you to steps on how to connect the Galaxy Watch to Android Studio, but you can follow the same steps and commands when using the Command Prompt. Enter the command below to start screen recording your watch: adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/record_demo.mp4 This command tells your computer (via ADB) to start recording the screen of your connected Galaxy Watch. Let's break it down piece-by-piece: adb – connects your computer to the watch or Android device. shell – opens a command-line interface inside the device. screenrecord – starts recording the device's screen. When you run screenrecord, the device starts capturing the display and saves it as a video file (the default format is .mp4). /sdcard/record_demo.mp4 – sets the file path where the recording will be saved on the device and the file name. Stop the recording by pressing CTRL + C. Transfer the recorded video to your computer: adb pull /sdcard/record_demo.mp4 C:\Destination\Folder\In\Your_Computer The pull command copies the recording from your watch to your computer. (Optional) Delete the recording from your watch using the rm command. adb shell rm /sdcard/record_demo.mp4 You now have a recorded video of your Galaxy Watch screen saved directly on your PC, ready for editing or presentation. Capture screenshots directly from Galaxy Watch to PC If you only need static images, you can easily transfer screenshots from your Galaxy Watch without using a phone: Take a screenshot on your Galaxy Watch by pressing the Home and Back buttons simultaneously until you see the screenshot animation. Locate the screenshot file using ADB shell and copy its filename. adb shell cd sdcard/DCIM/screenshots ls NoteYou can also run the simplified version of this command: adb shell ls /sdcard/DCIM/screenshots/ The ls command lists the screenshots stored on your watch. Transfer the screenshot to your computer: adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/screenshots/[File_Name].png C:\Destination\Folder\In\Your_Computer The image is now available on your computer for quick viewing or editing. Things to keep in mind This method works best with Galaxy Watches running Wear OS powered by Samsung (Galaxy Watch4 and newer models), as these devices support ADB connections for development and debugging. While this approach is highly effective for capturing screen activity, it has some limitations: Audio Capture: The screenrecord command records video but does not capture system audio. If you need audio, additional steps or tools may be required. Recording Duration: The recording duration may be limited (typically up to 3 minutes). This restriction can vary depending on the device and ADB implementation. Compatibility: Older Tizen-based Galaxy Watches may not support ADB connections, making this method unsuitable for those devices. Using ADB through Command Prompt provides a direct and efficient way to interact with your Galaxy Watch. Whether you're developing apps, recording demos, or capturing visuals for documentation, these simple commands make it easy to manage your device directly from your computer.
