National Gwangju Science Museum Operates Metaverse VR Experience Zone 'Metaply'

The National Gwangju Science Museum will operate a metaverse VR experience zone starting from the 22nd, where visitors can explore five major national science museums online all at once.

The online science museum is named 'Metaplay,' combining metaverse (a transcendent universe) and play, symbolizing a metaverse science museum where science can be enjoyed like a game.

In the online science museum, visitors can experience the five major national science museums (National Gwangju Science Museum, National Central Science Museum, National Gwacheon Science Museum, National Daegu Science Museum, National Busan Science Museum) through a vast metaverse representing a mysterious secret base in outer space, themed around snowfields, cities, wilderness, forests, and beaches.

Visitors can wear VR devices at the experience zones installed in the science museum and enjoy various immersive science content such as games like balloon throwing, basketball, treasure hunting, as well as activities like chair stacking and insect collecting.

Jeon Tae-ho, Acting Director, said, “We will continue to strive to provide visitors with various experiential contents that transcend time and space by utilizing advanced equipment.”
