[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Korea Road Traffic Authority announced on the 27th that it has created and built the "Korea Road Traffic Authority World" using the metaverse platform "Zepeto."

Korea Road Traffic Authority World is a virtual space that replicates the Authority's headquarters building in Wonju, Gangwon Province. It consists of three main areas: the "Exhibition Hall," a virtual reproduction of the promotional hall in the headquarters lobby; the "Promotion Booth," designed for public promotion and campaigns; and the "Event Hall," furnished with a stage and seating for various meetings and training sessions.

The Exhibition Hall, located in the building lobby within the metaverse, is a virtual copy of the actual Authority promotional hall, currently displaying the Authority’s project information and traffic safety promotional posters. Visitors can pose in front of the posters and take photos and videos. The Authority plans to use the Exhibition Hall for non-face-to-face traffic safety campaigns and traffic accident photo exhibitions in the future.

At the Promotion Booth, visitors can immediately see messages delivered by the Authority upon entering the world, facilitating public promotion and campaigns. Throughout October, a promotional booth for a campaign led by the Personal Information Protection Commission, focusing on safe personal information practices, is being operated.

Additionally, the Event Hall provides stage equipment and seating to conduct virtual ceremonies for business agreements, various meetings, and training sessions, reflecting the need for non-face-to-face events due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

An Authority official stated, "Starting with the launch of this platform, we will continuously expand and operate the world by adding more booths, installations, and providing experiences, activities, and attractions within Korea Road Traffic Authority World."
