This powerful combination of technology and talent has already reaped rewards. After securing a dominant win at the 2025 Chicago Marathon and shattering the half-marathon world record this March in Lisbon, the 25-year-old is now targeting success at the 2026 London Marathon.

▲ Jacob Kiplimo trains for the London Marathon with his Galaxy Watch8.

To mark World Health Day (WHD) 2026 on April 7, Samsung Newsroom asked him to detail his data-driven training regime, which embodies this year’s WHD slogan, “Together for health. Stand with science.”

With exclusive access to his Samsung Health metrics, we take an inside look into his grueling training program, which has seen him cover over 100 km in just one week. Discover how insights led him to adjust his training for optimal recovery and how even a “rest day” can include a 3 km run.

▲ Screenshots from Kiplimo’s Samsung Health app show his varied training routine, including light jogs and long-distance runs.

Q. Congratulations on your recent world record at the 2026 Lisbon Half Marathon. What’s the secret to your success?

There’s no secret. It’s just about discipline. You have to work hard, be extremely focused, and manage your energy — knowing when to rest and when to push harder. But honestly, the most important part is that you have to really want what you’re working toward. I wouldn’t have broken the world record if I didn’t follow that formula.

Q. You finished second at the 2025 London Marathon and are now preparing to go one step further at this year’s event. What role has your Galaxy Watch8 played in your training?

My coach doesn’t live in Uganda, so my Galaxy Watch8 has basically become his personal assistant here. Even though he’s not with me, he can get real-time analysis and reports on my running form through the Running Analysis feature in Samsung Health. We track my heart rate and pay close attention to my pace for each kilometer. During the harder sessions, I also monitor the asymmetry readings to see if I’m overcompensating on one side so I can avoid strain. Contact time is another key aspect I keep an eye on, making small adjustments to my form to ensure every stride is as efficient as possible. I always try to improve my running economy, so these insights are incredibly helpful.

▲ Kiplimo’s Samsung Health data from March 13–19 reveals how he ramps up his training routine throughout the week.

Q. Looking at your recent Samsung Health data, we can see some clear patterns in your training routine. Tell us about your regime.

Consistency is key, but athletes must not be obsessed with training. What many people don’t realize is that rest is equally as important as physical training. To compete at your best, you need to be able to maximize your energy, and the only way to do that is through consistent rest. But “rest” doesn’t always mean no training. A rest day can mean running 3 km instead of 40 km. You have to be consistent in what you’re doing, but you also need to listen to your body and know when to slow down. Technology can help a lot with this.

Q. Can you give us an example of how a specific insight from the Samsung Health app led you to adapt your training program?

The decision to run 3 km instead of 40 km that I just mentioned was a true story. After experiencing some lingering soreness during a recent 24 km run, I decided to turn what was intended to be a 40 km run into a light 3 km jog to ensure I could recover and have the stamina to get through 40 km another day. The Samsung Health app was very helpful for me here. It kept me informed so I could allow my body to fully recover and prevent a potential injury or burnout.

Q. We’ve seen how a professional runner like yourself uses data to reach their goals. What advice would you give to someone who is just starting their running journey, and how can the Running Coach feature get them on the right track?

For beginners, it is very important to ease into things and be patient. You will build up stamina over time; it’s about knowing when to push yourself and when to stop. Not everyone has a personal coach with them to tailor a training plan. But the Running Coach feature provides customized programs to help even beginners train for a marathon. It tells you exactly what you should be doing during a run, motivates you and helps you improve. New runners are fortunate to have this fantastic technology which can guide them every step of the way. It’s also great for more experienced runners looking to take on a full marathon as it provides structured training programs.

Q. On World Health Day, the message is “Together for health, stand with science.” How does this relate to your own philosophy?

Science helps me throughout my training. I don’t know where I would be without the ability to track data on my Galaxy Watch8. I use that science to shape my daily routine. Science and technology help me perform at my best, and I believe they can do the same for anyone.

From a young runner in Uganda to a world-record holder, Kiplimo proves what happens when relentless dedication meets smart technology. Whether you are an elite athlete striving for the podium or someone taking your first steps towards a healthier lifestyle, Galaxy Watch8 provides actionable insights to help you build healthier habits and reach your goals.

Spatial Signage, Samsung’s glasses-free 3D display, has earned industry recognition with awards at IFA 2025, CES 2026 and ISE 2026. Bringing the concept to life required close collaboration across display, research and design teams — each solving a different piece of the 3D puzzle.

Samsung Newsroom spoke with experts across the company — Jong-Gu Sun and Yujin Nam from the Visual Display (VD) Business, Chang-Kun Lee from Samsung Research (SR) and Eun Vit Chung from the Corporate Design Office (CDO) — about the journey behind the innovation.

▲ Spatial Signage

Redefining the 3D Visual Experience

As demand grows for more distinctive visuals, the need for new display solutions is increasing. “We are seeing rising interest in visually striking content that captures attention, such as ultra-large LED-based anamorphic displays,” said Sun. “However, these installations typically require more space than traditional signage and dedicated 3D content.”

“Spatial Signage delivers immersive 3D depth without glasses or bulky holographic boxes, enabling differentiated experiences across a wide range of environments,” he added. “It also reduces the cost of producing dedicated content while remaining compatible with existing signage systems.”

▲ Sun discusses how Spatial Signage brings immersive 3D experiences to life.

Turning the concept into reality required a strong technological foundation. “While exploring new signage solutions, we discovered advanced display technology under development at Samsung Research and realized it could enable 3D signage for B2B environments,” said Chung. “From that point, close collaboration among SR, CDO and the VD Business advanced the technology and brought it to market.”

Inside the Technology Behind Spatial Signage 

At the core of Spatial Signage is 3D plate technology. “The system combines a display with optical components to send separate images to each eye, applying the principle of binocular disparity so the brain perceives depth,” Lee explained. “A lenticular card — which shows different images depending on the viewing angle — is a common example of a 3D plate.”

▲ Principle of 3D plate technology

“Spatial Signage uses a new method of rendering 3D images to address the limitations of conventional glasses-free 3D displays, such as reduced image quality and narrow viewing angles,” he added. “By presenting the main subject in high-resolution 2D while using a 3D plate to create depth in the background, it achieves both immersion and high image quality.”

Building an ultra-large, 85-inch 3D display was no easy task. A 3D plate is made by combining lenticular lenses with printed images to produce 3D visuals — and once created, it cannot be adjusted.

▲ Lee highlights Samsung’s innovative technology behind the ultra-large, 85-inch 3D display.

“If discrepancies between design specifications and the actual structure are not precisely accounted for, the background on screen can appear distorted,” said Lee. “To address this, we developed a special pattern to detect errors during lens production.” By combining this printed pattern with the lenticular lens, the team could quickly identify deviations and adjust printing conditions accordingly.

Securing depth while maintaining a slim profile was another challenge. Spatial Signage uses a thin 3-4 mm 3D plate to create a box-like sense of space with a perceived depth of up to 500 mm, as if extending inside the screen. “Achieving depth with such thin optical materials made lens design and reliability testing difficult,” Nam explained. “Despite numerous unexpected obstacles, we explored a range of ideas and ultimately improved the product’s quality.”

▲ Nam shares how the team achieved a 3-4 mm thickness and 500 mm depth through numerous trials.

The team also faced physical limitations. “With an ultra-large 3D plate, gravity can cause sagging, leading to blemishes or distortions, while vertical lenses can produce the moiré effect — a high-frequency, wave-like pattern,” said Nam. “We repeatedly encountered these technical constraints. It would not have been possible without close collaboration across teams.”

Crafting Depth Through Design

With the technology in place, the next step was to design an intuitive and immersive visual experience. “To maximize depth on the 85-inch screen, we refined the 3D plate imagery and developed guidelines for image processing that enhance elements such as perspective and shadows,” Chung emphasized. “It is the result of years of accumulated expertise and dedication.”

As a result, the 3D plate features precisely calculated lines, surfaces and gradient backgrounds, while the foreground 2D content incorporates lighting, shadows and perspective aligned with the background’s depth. “This project felt like bringing virtual images from a 3D program into the real world,” said Chung. “I’ve grown attached to each visual element created through this process.”

▲ Chung explains how Spatial Signage reflects Samsung’s design expertise, from 3D plate image design to lighting and perspective.

However, implementing the concept proved more complex than expected. “While typical design work can rely on a single image, Spatial Signage requires images to be divided into micrometer-level segments — thinner than a strand of human hair,” Chung explained. In other words, designers had to anticipate how those segments would come together. “It would have been impossible without a deep understanding of optics. By studying and applying those principles, we achieved the sense of depth seen today.”

New Opportunities for B2B Displays 

Developed through close collaboration across teams, Spatial Signage goes beyond traditional displays and opens new possibilities in everyday environments. To increase its versatility in diverse retail settings, Samsung plans to expand its lineup past the current 85-inch model with 32-inch and 55-inch options later this year.

▲ Samsung VXT lets users create signage-ready videos.

“Whenever I walk by a café with Spatial Signage, I notice people pausing to look at the display,” said Nam. “For cafés or franchises seeking a more engaging way to promote seasonal menus or events, it can offer a compelling alternative.”

AI Studio,[1] an AI-powered content creation app within Samsung Visual eXperience Transformation (VXT), lets users create signage-ready videos from a single product image. In addition to supporting standard digital signage, it offers an option to optimize content specifically for Spatial Signage — delivering a truly immersive experience on the 3D display.

“In addition to retail, Spatial Signage is drawing strong interest from sectors including 3D audiovisual solutions for education in Europe, virtual personal training systems for major fitness chains and augmented reality waiting areas at theme parks in Korea,” said Sun. “Through innovative display solutions, we will continue to build a commercial display ecosystem that only Samsung can deliver.”

▲ Spatial Signage unlocks versatile, innovative display experiences.

Ultimately, Spatial Signage is not just about making images appear in 3D — it is about creating more immediate, memorable and lifelike experiences in everyday spaces.
