[K-SCIENCE] Recreation of History via AR

This is the ruins of Eonyang Eupseong Fortress built in the ancient Goryeo Dynasty and destroyed later.

The only clue to confirm that there existed a fortress is the remaining ramparts.

The description of the fortress had been made possible only through archaeological studies. However, we now can see a restored version of the fortress through the augmented reality (AR) application.

Visitors to Eonyang Eupseong Fortress can look around the fortress through the AR application downloaded onto their smartphones.


[Lee Seon-Ho, governor, Ulju County]
"The augmented reality application enables visitors to look around a completely restored fortress, regardless of when and where."

Visitors who put on the 360-degree VR headsets will also be able to find themselves inside a completely restored fortress.

People now can vividly enjoy journeys of their historical and cultural heritage sites, either through AR or VR.
