Busan Children’s Cultural Complex “Deullak Nallak” Enhances Interactive Digital Content

내용

Busan Children’s Cultural Complex Deullak Nallak is strengthening its lineup of interactive digital content.

Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon announced today that a completion report meeting for the “Production and Installation of Interactive Extended Reality (XR) Content and Smart Equipment” project will be held on April 3 at the Deullak Nallak facility in City Hall.

This project introduces smart digital signage equipped with XR technology to Deullak Nallak facilities across the city. It aims to reduce regional disparities in educational services and cut private education costs by providing new experiential content.

The project was selected for the national Smart Village Expansion Program in 2024 by the Ministry of Science and ICT, securing KRW 1 billion in national funding and KRW 400 million in municipal funding.

Approximately 30 people will attend the completion report meeting, including members of the Children’s Cultural Complex Planning Committee, Deullak Nallak staff, and related experts. The meeting will include a project outcome report by the implementing agency, a demonstration of digital content, and a Q&A session.

Beginning April 4, the smart digital signage will be available to the public. These door-shaped digital screens connect Deullak Nallak facilities citywide and are based on a non-face-to-face, contactless “digital door” concept.

Using high-resolution displays, augmented reality, and motion recognition technology that responds to height, eye direction, and movement, these units provide access to various digital contents. These include AI-assisted English conversation, interactive learning programs, cultural and artistic experiences, games, and videos.

The network also supports remote lectures, inter-facility content sharing, communication between users, and connections to local landmarks.

When the digital door “opens,” it reveals new worlds and iconic spaces, including local attractions and immersive media art. This is expected to boost creativity and imagination in children while improving access to learning and cultural experiences for digitally disadvantaged youth.

Kim Gwi-ok, Director of Youth & Industry-Academia Bureau, said,

“This project allows citizens and children using Deullak Nallak to enjoy a wide variety of cultural and educational content. We will continue enriching the content at Deullak Nallak so that it becomes a beloved place for the public.”

Meanwhile, Deullak Nallak is a flagship project that repurposes idle urban spaces into family-friendly cultural facilities. A total of 105 sites have been designated for development, with 78 already opened. The initiative has received significant attention both domestically and internationally, even winning the grand prize at a global urban planning award.
