SK Telecom and the Deoksugung Palace Management Office of the Royal Palaces and Tombs Division of the Cultural Heritage Administration are piloting AR Deoksugung, which expresses Deoksugung Palace in three dimensions based on aerial photography and AR element technology.
AR Deoksugung is a service that applies AR technology to Deoksugung Palace, our cultural heritage, allowing users to explore the entire palace in detail on their smartphones without having to visit the site in person.

Application of advanced spatial recognition and tracking technology
To allow a realistic view of the entire Deoksugung Palace at a glance, the site was filmed using drones or multiple cameras, and a virtual 3D model of Deoksugung Palace identical to reality was created using eSpace technology and photogrammetry technology.
eSpace technology is a technology that creates a 3D digital space model composed of three-dimensional polygons identical to reality by scanning the real space with drones and multiple cameras and then processing it.
The number of drone photos used here amounts to over 2,000, and over 75,000 ground photos capturing every corner of the building and space have been applied, resulting in a vast amount of data.
Users can view Deoksugung Palace freely up, down, left, and right on their smartphonesHigh-speed photorealistic rendering technology, spatial partitioning rendering technology, and LOD rendering technology have been adopted, allowing users to move and look around using materials and view different perspectives from near to far.
High-speed photorealistic rendering technology is a technology that displays photorealistic, high-quality graphics even on mobile devices, not just high-performance PCs, by applying user-viewpoint-based spatial partitioning and LOD rendering techniques to large-scale spatial models.
AR Deoksugung provides 3D AR maps and AR photo zones that allow you to freely view 12 buildings and a space of 61,205 square meters within Deoksugung Palace by placing them on your hand.
The AR map displays information on buildings within Deoksugung Palace, photo zones, and amenities, and enhances visitor convenience by providing recommended routes that are easily accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.
In addition, it offers AR photo zones where you can take photos with AR animals such as pandas, cats, and Welsh Corgis in four areas within Deoksugung Palace, including Daehanmun, Seokjeodang, Junghwajeon, and Seokjojeon, and also features a selfie function (past life experience) that allows you to capture yourself transformed into a king, queen, prime minister, or gatekeeper.
Jeon Jin-soo, Head of SK Telecom’s 5GX Service Business Division, stated, “AR Deoksugung was developed using advanced spatial recognition and tracking technology to allow users to enjoy a vast amount of 3D spatial data from various viewing angles,” adding, “We will continue to advance augmented reality technology that can transcend time and space to faithfully capture the history and traces of the past on real-world structures.”

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
