VR·AR content to become part of Incheon’s vision for the future
“Incheon VR/AR Production Support Center” to drive the production of Incheon’s very own K-content In recent years, K-content (VR/AR content) has garnered significant attention from overseas markets, following in the footsteps of K-pop music and K-dramas. This rise in popularity of K-content is driven by a production system that blends Korea’s advanced technology and a solid foundation of advanced culture to make people tune in from all over the world. And with more people staying at home since the COVID-19 outbreak, exciting VR and AR immersive content - both of which people can enjoy without worrying about where they are - are becoming the answer to entertainment at home. Incheon has the perfect place for K-content production - the Incheon VR/AR Production Support Center, which serves as a central hub and platform for Incheon’s content production industry. ▲ In recent years, K-content (VR/AR content) has garnered significant attention from overseas markets, following in the footsteps of K-pop music and K-dramas.

Mecca of the content industry, now spreading out into the world Immersive content using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)technology is expanding not only to entertainment fields, such as games and images, but also to industrial sites. In 2019, the VR/AR market for industrial applications surpassed that of the entertainment VR/AR content market for the first time ever. Moreover, the gap between the two markets is expected to triple by 2023. For this very reason, Korea is focusing on the field of VR/AR industrial applications, and is promoting various projects to push its agenda across the country. One notable project currently under way is a government-driven plan to open 14 VR/AR regional centers nationwide. Ea
