We helped resurrect 18th century royalty in AR for Changdeok ARirang last summer and we're thrilled to announce that the work has been named Best Art, Culture and Event App at the 25th annual Webby Awards!

Working with Nexus Studios, in association with SK Telecom, Google and the Cultural Heritage Administration, the King and Queen of the Joseon Dynasty to were brought to life in augmented reality for the reopening of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeok Palace. This virtual tour immerses visitors in the sights, sounds, and colourful stories once hidden in the past. 

A special ‘At Home’ version of the experience was released during the pandemic, allowing people to access the stunning content from anywhere in the world.

4k volumetric video was captured using the Polymotion Stage Truck with Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture technology.
