?? Background Highlights
With the global rise of interest in metaverse and AR technologies, combining Korea’s traditional hanbok with immersive tech presents a unique cultural innovation.
On October 21, 2021, the U.S. state of New Jersey declared the first Hanbok Day outside Korea, initiated by Korean-American communities in response to China’s Northeast Project.
To celebrate Hanbok Day, this AR exhibition introduces the beauty and heritage of traditional hanbok, combining costumes from historical Korean dramas with interactive AR experiences.
The exhibition allows audiences to explore "Wearing History"—a curated storytelling of Korean traditional garments from different dynasties.
All hanbok featured are crafted by Korea’s top master designers, countering low-quality imitations with high-end authenticity and cultural artistry.
