Deepfine (CEO Kim Hyun-bae), a specialist in prolonged reality (XR) spatial computing platforms, announced on the thirteenth that it’s going to supply technology for implementing XR content to the ‘Moving Media Art Gallery: Media Bus’ project promoted by the Art Center Butterfly Museum.
This project was planned by the Art Center Butterfly Museum to utilize recent media technology to bridge the digital gap and create a brand new art business model. It was chosen and implemented as a ‘recent field development project for art technology’ by the Arts Management Support Center Art Korea Lab.
Deepfine developed this XR tourism service using augmented reality (AR) content and TOLED (Transparent OLED) content, a transparent display. In the longer term, we plan to support the enjoyment of tourists using mobility corresponding to buses. For instance, when a tourist on an old palace bus tour wears AR glasses and passes Changdeokgung Palace, a ‘docent 3D character’ appears on the glasses screen to offer tourist information corresponding to history.
The reason is that immersion could be maximized in comparison with existing bus tours based on voice guidance. By attaching TOLED to the side of the vehicle, you’ll be able to enjoy augmented reality content without wearing AR glasses.
Particularly, it was emphasized that optimal AR content is realized by combining GPS, which constantly collects location information while moving through satellite signals, and Visual Positioning System (VPS), which determines accurate location information through images.
Kim Hyun-bae, CEO of Deepfine, said, “This might be a possibility to suggest the longer term direction of smart tourism through XR technology that naturally blends reality and virtuality.” He added, “We’ll proceed to research and develop technologies that transcend existing limitations in various industries.” He said.
