Bucheon City Hall Meets in Virtual Space... '50th Anniversary of City Promotion' Metaverse Exhibition Hall Opens

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 18th that it has officially opened the 'Bucheon City Metaverse Promotion Exhibition Hall,' where visitors can experience the city hall in a virtual space, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its city status.

Based on a metaverse platform, the city realistically recreated local landmarks such as the exterior of Bucheon Art Center and the lawn plaza, and also planned to showcase unique spaces exclusive to Bucheon City Hall, including the Oxygen Garden. Upon entering the metaverse, visitors can also meet 'Bucheon Hansseop,' Bucheon City's representative character who provides explanations and guidance throughout the space.

The main areas are designed as ▲Bucheon City Hall Main Building ▲SNS Hall ▲Lawn Plaza ▲Event Zone. In particular, the Bucheon City Hall Main Building is composed of a History Hall, Future Hall, and chatbot civil service consultation to help visitors learn about Bucheon's past, present, and future. Here, through various content, videos, and OX quizzes, visitors can discover Bucheon's evolving status and footsteps from yesterday to tomorrow.

To promote the metaverse promotion exhibition hall and increase citizen participation, the city is also holding a metaverse opening event until the 22nd of next month. The event consists of three main activities: participants can first join the stamp collection event in the 'Event Zone,' then solve OX quizzes in the 'History Hall' and 'Future Hall,' and by submitting their answers via a Naver form, they will be entered into all three events.

The city plans to give away various prizes such as coffee exchange vouchers through a lottery. For detailed app access and event participation methods, please search for 'Metaverse' on Bucheon City's official blog or refer to Bucheon City's Facebook page.

A Bucheon City official stated, "By establishing a virtual reality platform, we have enhanced convenience by promoting city administration without time and space constraints and laid the foundation for better communication with citizens."
