104년만에 AR, VR 기술로 복원된 서울의 서쪽 사대문 돈의문
One of the four major gates in Seoul from Joseon Dynasty has been restored using digital technology.
Donuimun Gate located in the western part of the city was torn down in 1915 during the Japanese colonial period.
Restoration of the actual gate, which is also known as Seodaemun Gate, wasn't possible due to difficulties like traffic and compensation for the land where the structure stood.
Using VR and augmented reality technology, Seoul Metropolitan Government and Cultural Heritage Administration digitally restored the gate 1-hundred-and-4 years after it was torn down.
One can download a mobile app and see what the gate looked like in the past from multiple angles.
