WONUNIVERSE Develops Cyber Dokdo School Metaverse Platform with Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education

Metaverse specialist developer Won Universe announced on the 6th that it will build a VR (virtual reality) immersive metaverse environment for Dokdo education in collaboration with the Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education.

Won Universe is forming a consortium with VR edutech specialist company ‘Fairlip Edu’ and VR specialist company ‘Dream VR’ to develop the Cyber Dokdo Metaverse platform. Won Universe will plan Dokdo-specialized metaverse content, Fairlip Edu will be responsible for metaverse platform and content development, and Dream VR will capture real Dokdo footage using drones, including photos, 360-degree videos, and 4K videos.

The purpose of this metaverse platform is to educate students in Gyeongsangbuk-do, who face difficulties visiting Dokdo, about the historical and geographical significance of Dokdo. Amid changes in the educational environment due to non-face-to-face and digital transformation, there is a growing need for new learning models, and the plan is to enhance students’ accessibility with 3D immersive educational content similar to reality.

Additionally, the Cyber Dokdo School metaverse platform will include various contents beyond VR content for Dokdo education. An avatar system will be developed to enable simultaneous discussions during learning, and customization features and real-time voice chat functions will be implemented. Furthermore, motion sickness reduction technology will be applied to reconstruct existing VR videos, and 4K (3840*2160) videos will also be produced.

A representative from Won Universe stated, “Through this consortium, we plan to produce about 10 types of content, including how to get to Dokdo, Dokdo’s ecosystem, and the Dokdo defense squad,” adding, “We are pleased to collaborate with companies strong in edutech and VR technology to create a meaningful metaverse platform.”

Meanwhile, Won Universe previously collaborated with the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education in April to build a Cyber Career Education Center metaverse platform. Leveraging its experience developing airport-related job content within the education platform, it has been entrusted with content development for the Dokdo School metaverse platform this time.
