Watch this video and discover how South Korea is bringing home cultural assets stored in foreign museums with an innovative project to digitize them for use in real-time 3D environments.
In South Korea, around 230,000 cultural assets were either legally or controversially exported, but various efforts to repatriate them back to the country are underway.
Among these efforts is the idea of digital sharing, a South Korean government-led initiative that leverages digital technology and equipment to replace the complicated and difficult physical repatriation process.
With digital sharing, Korean artwork stored in museums abroad can be exhibited in its home country as a precise digital replica of the original artifact. Interactive 3D content is developed based on the digital replica, providing a realistic and engaging experience for viewers.
In this video, we explore the Digital Homecoming Project for the Korean Cultural Assets at the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA).
