Introduction of DMZ Lost Town Metaverse Application Case

Abstract

There were about 400 peaceful villages within the DMZ, but they disappeared due to war and division, and now only lush forests remain. Metaverse provides an environment, which users can interact, and an intuitive experience to users by merging the virtual world with the real world. The metaverse introduced in this paper tells the story of the villages that disappeared to the people and provides the experience of villages and missions that existed in the past. In this paper, the space composition and mission of the lost villages in the metaverse are explained and application examples are introduced. Through this study, it is expected that the public interest in the DMZ would increase, and the DMZ would be recognized as a more familiar space for the public.
