"Preview Ulleung Airport, Experience It in the Metaverse"
[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Korea Airports Corporation announced on the 11th that it has unveiled the 'Ulleung Airport Metaverse,' allowing users to experience the Ulleung Airport, scheduled for completion in 2025, in a three-dimensional virtual space in advance.
The corporation introduced the Ulleung Airport Metaverse on 'Roblox,' the world's most widely used global metaverse platform. In the virtual Ulleung Airport, users can experience all processes involved in using an airport flight, including ▲ticket issuance ▲security screening ▲boarding the airplane. Additionally, users can enjoy various content such as piloting the airplane themselves, riding a zipline to admire the entire view of Ulleung Airport, and playing in the sea in front of Ulleungdo.
Anyone can freely experience it by downloading the application on PC or mobile and searching for ‘Ulleung Airport.’ The corporation provides related information such as Ulleungdo tourism details and the construction status of Ulleung Airport. To coincide with the summer vacation season, starting from the 25th, it plans to hold engaging game events linked with SNS, including finding hidden airline tickets, showing off characters, and completing missions.
In particular, unlike general metaverses, the Ulleung Airport Metaverse is more realistically implemented with the same structure and proportions as the actual airport based on Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, and it is expected to be used for airport design review and educational materials.
