Tongyeong City Strengthens Social Safety Net with Extended Reality-Based Ultra-Precise GIS Convergence Technology
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Tongyeong City in Gyeongnam announced on the 13th that it has been finally selected for the 'XR+α (Public, Industrial Application) Project' open competition hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT with the task of 'Commercialization and Service Verification of Remote Collaboration Support System for Underground Facility Spatial Information Management' utilizing 5G/XR technology.
XR refers to eXtended Reality technology, an ultra-realistic new technology that includes VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality) technologies. Tongyeong City will implement the project to apply XR and ultra-precision GIS convergence technology to the management of public underground facilities and verify its effectiveness, in collaboration with the Gyeongnam Technopark Foundation, ㈜Extremeple recognized for its technological capabilities in related fields within Gyeongnam, and GIS specialist company VNG.
This project will invest a total budget of 1.33 billion KRW by the end of this year (1 billion KRW national funds, 100 million KRW city funds, 230 million KRW private funds). The main tasks include the establishment of an XR-based smart spatial information system to support underground facility operations, an XR-based mobile field management system for efficient on-site management of underground facilities, and a 5G-based mobile field collaboration support system for real-time monitoring of field situations. On-site verification will also be conducted in the Mujeon-dong area of Tongyeong City.
Through this open competition project, the city will advance its outdated urban information system and pioneer the establishment of Korea's first XR-based ultra-precision underground facility management system.
