Background
Deepfine, a South Korean spatial computing startup based in Seoul, was selected as lead organization for the North Gyeongsang provincial consortium under the Ministry of Science and ICT AI-based virtual convergence industry promotion project. The company develops spatial intelligence solutions grounded in VPS and SLAM technology, enabling precise real-space recognition and AR content overlay on smart glasses and mobile devices without GPS dependency.
The Deployment
The Gyeongju project centers on a spatial intelligence-based virtual convergence tourism platform that builds 3D spatial maps of major heritage attractions and overlays AR content including historical context, navigation, and location-based services onto those physical spaces. Tourists access the experience through smartphone or AI-enabled smart glasses without installing a separate app, using WebAR delivery.
Hardware and Software
Deepfine's DSC (DEEPFINE Spatial Crafter) platform enables 3D spatial data creation using only mobile devices, while the DAO (DEEPFINE AR.ON) environment supports smart glasses-based AR. Both deliver spatially anchored mixed reality content registered to real-world locations via VPS.
Rollout Plans
Following validation in Gyeongju, Deepfine and its partners North Gyeongsang Province and Gyeongju City plan to release the platform under a public license as a replicable standard model for local governments across Korea.
