GANGNEUNG, April 30 (Korea Bizwire) — On a fine Saturday, the city of Gangneung, nestled in the heart of Gangwon Province, made a noble declaration to champion the cause of stray animals by harnessing the power of cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) technology.

The city’s visionary plan involves creating immersive 3D images of the charming interior and exterior of the Animal Love Center using the ingenious metaverse method that brings real-world spaces to life in a digital dimension.

This will enable animal lovers from all corners of the globe to tour the Gangneung Animal Love Center remotely, without setting foot in the city.

Collaborating with a specialist platform firm dedicated to the adoption of abandoned animals, Gangneung will construct a bespoke VR system to showcase the Animal Love Center’s charm and create awe-inspiring adoption promotion materials, such as heartwarming videos of the animals and stirring profiles of each furry friend.

By combining the virtual space with the platform company's application, visitors will be empowered to explore every facility at the Gangneung Animal Love Center remotely, an enticing opportunity to connect with the animals and potentially transform lives. (Image provided by Gangneung City)

The visionary collaboration between Gangneung and the platform company is sure to overcome the temporal and spatial barriers that frequently impede animal adoption, and thus the initiative is bound to attract scores of modern people who relish the convenience of non-face-to-face services.

An official from Gangneung opined, “We are steadfast in our commitment to finding innovative ways to invigorate animal adoption, fully cognizant of the modern person’s inclination towards remote services.”

With this laudable partnership, Gangneung seeks to spearhead a paradigm shift in animal welfare, infusing the process with the power of technology and putting animal adoption at the forefront of our collective consciousness.
