Namwon-si Selected for 'Regional Specialized Content Development Support Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Namwon City, Jeonbuk (Mayor Ihwanju) announced on the 30th that it has been finally selected for the '2021 Regional Specialized Content Development Support Project' to build immersive content for Namwondaum Center, and will establish 'Namwon-it-da' with a total project cost of 300 million KRW (200 million KRW national funds, 100 million KRW city funds).

This national fund public offering project support was planned out of the need to preserve Namwon's memories as records and to enjoy them through various contents by building a metaverse space using augmented reality in the Namwondaum Center, providing new attractions for citizens and tourists.

'Namwon-it-da' will be developed as a five-sense satisfying healing space where visitors can view the past appearance of Namwon, which has now disappeared, through a self-produced panoramic augmented reality (AR) device, and empathize with shared life memories through a media wall.

Mayor Ihwanju of Namwon City said, "Securing this national budget is a good example of obtaining funds through diligent efforts despite limited budgets," and added, "An active attitude will be the cornerstone for the development of Namwon City."
