Gwangju University Selected for Content One Campus Construction Project for 4 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju University announced on the 11th that it has been selected for the Content One Campus Construction Project, hosted by the Korea Creative Content Agency, for four consecutive years.

The Content One Campus is a project aimed at nurturing talent to lead the future content industry by establishing a cooperative system among universities, companies, and research institutes to develop convergence content projects and operate educational programs.

The Department of Photography, Video, and Drone at Gwangju University plans to carry out a project titled "Hwain VR Immersive Content and Virtual Museum" in collaboration with the Asia Culture Center Foundation and the Asia Culture Center until January 2023.

"Hwain VR Immersive Content and Virtual Museum" is a project to build a digital archive of the lives of Hwain (Chinese) residents who have lived in Gwangju for over 100 years.

Twenty students from the Department of Photography, Video, and Drone at Gwangju University plan to produce VR immersive content about Hwain food culture and digitally reconstruct the Hwagyosogyo (Chinese elementary school) that was demolished in 2014 to establish a virtual museum.

In particular, Gwangju University will develop and operate a convergence content education program focused on immersive content projects such as AI, big data, holograms, VR, and AR related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution while carrying out this project.

Gwangju University, first selected for the Content One Campus Construction Operation Project in 2019, released the Asian food culture record content "VR COOKBOOK: Kitchens of Asia" in consortium with the Asia Culture Institute.

In the second year, they presented "Kitchens and Food Culture of Asia: The Koryoin Diaspora and Food," followed by the third year’s "Fermented Food VR Immersive Content and Media Art."

Professor Cho Dae-yeon of the Department of Photography, Video, and Drone said, "Through this project, we have taken a step ahead in expanding content-related education and nurturing customized talent through a convergence project-based curriculum. Along with this, we will actively work to develop regional culture and arts and secure competitiveness in the content industry."
