[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Future Education Center will establish the (tentative name) Busan Metaverse Education Room for teachers' metaverse education and experiences in September.

Busan Future Education Center will invest about 1.6 billion KRW to build the entire 9th floor (462, 140-pyeong size) of the Future Education Center as a metaverse education and experience space by September.

The education room will provide integrated metaverse services including education, experience, production, and exhibition, differentiated from the existing small-scale experience-centered metaverse spaces.

To this end, a total of six rooms will be created: two education rooms where users can directly create educational metaverses; one exhibition room featuring an interactive metaverse based on a polyhedral Media Wall; and three experience rooms where users can try metaverse content and object creation, printing, and MR content production.

Ryu Seong-wook, director of Busan Future Education Center, said, “We will activate metaverse utilization education, one of the core technologies of future education, through the Busan Metaverse Education Room.”

Since March, Busan Future Education Center has been conducting a pilot program for 5th and 6th-grade students at Samuh Elementary, Yongmun Elementary, and Mowundae Elementary, research schools of Busan Eduwon, linking educational metaverse creation software (VR WARE) with Busan Eduwon, an online and offline customized learning platform.
