Augmented Reality Meets Environmental Campaign: 'Seongnam Eco Tour App' Released

Notification of Event for Awarding Mobile Gift Certificates to 200 People Who Download the Seongnam Eco Tour App

The city of Seongnam in Gyeonggi Province has launched the 'Seongnam Eco Tour App,' an augmented reality game that allows users to learn about the environment.

This app is an educational platform independently developed by Seongnam City over the past six months with a budget of 120 million KRW, commemorating Blue Sky Day (September 7), an official UN-recognized day established in 2019 at South Korea's proposal.

By accessing the Seongnam Eco Tour App, users become members of a virtual group called 'Eco Days' from the future, and participate in a mission-based game to find codes at Seongnam City Hall and Yuldong Park to prevent human extinction.

The app features storytelling similar to an outdoor escape room game and incorporates augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance participants' immersion in environmental messages such as carbon neutrality and climate change.

To increase public interest in the Seongnam Eco Tour App, the city will provide a 20,000 KRW food delivery mobile gift certificate to the first 200 people who download the app by September 8.

Those wishing to participate in the event can choose one of Seongnam City's official social media channels (KakaoTalk, Instagram, Facebook, or Blog), add the city as a friend, and submit a photo verifying the download of the Seongnam Eco Tour App via the application link.

The mobile gift certificates will be distributed through a random draw, and all participants who leave a review after using the app will receive a set of three illustrated talk stickers featuring Seongnam City's flagship species: the Blue-and-white Woodpecker, the Korean Bullhead, and the Papari Firefly.
