National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage Recreates Gyeongju Hwangnyongsa Temple Site in Virtual Reality

Virtual Tour Content Released and Survey Underway

The National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage announced on April 21 that it will conduct a survey of participants experiencing the "Gyeongju Hwangnyongsa Temple Site" virtual tour content until May 11, and will hold an event to present souvenirs to those who participate.

To share the process and achievements of its ancient architecture research, which has been ongoing since the 1970s, the institute launched the "Architectural Heritage Value Link" website last year. It operates an "Experience Hall," where visitors can explore architectural heritage recreated in virtual reality (VR), and a "Data Hall," which provides materials related to ancient architectural cultural heritage.

In the virtual tour of Iksan Mireuksaji, released last year, users can move through the space and view related information, photos, and digital restoration images of the central gate. The newly released Gyeongju Hwangnyongsa Temple Site virtual tour provides content on the history of Hwangnyongsa Temple from its construction to its destruction, the structural characteristics of each building, and the achievements of digital restoration.
