This week, two central Korean digital twin and RT3D workflow leaders signed a major strategic partnership to supercharge the future of next-generation workflows.
The move sees Techtree Innovation and REMOSHOT come together to drive 3D digital content creation and workflows via a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that enables joint collaboration on digital twin research, education, and application development.
Notably, the MOU will combine Techtree Innovation’s digital twin knowledge with REMOSHOT XR expertise to enable the continued development of future-of-work and 3D workflows in the region and beyond.
Speaking on the partnership, Sanghoon Jung, CEO of REMOSHOT, said:
By combining our expertise in 3D content creation with Techtree Innovation’s advanced digital twin platform, we aim to deliver innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of both public and private sectors.
According to the firms, the collaboration will help to further research into B2B digital twin services and the information the technology leverages, alongside industry-wide education and utilization of 3D digital twin environments.
Seungyup Choi, CEO of Techtree Innovation, also added:
This partnership represents a significant step toward unlocking the full potential of 3D digital twin environments. Together with REMOSHOT, we aspire to drive technological advancements and create new business opportunities through high-precision digital twin technology.
A Storied History of Technology Innovation
The moves follow a shared history of Techtree Innovation and REMOSHOT’s demonstration of leading abilities to deploy RT3D and XR solutions to business clients.
Notable, Techtree Innovation has deployed its AROUND digital twin platform to enterprise clients, providing an automated platform for capturing buildings, infrastructure, plants, and terrain.
Conversely, REMOSHOT’s content creation platform leverages the famed Unity and Unreal Engine frameworks to deliver RT3D XR solutions for firms such as the National Medical Center, the National Fire Agency, and the National Police Agency.
Korean XR Excellence
The news comes after years of Korea leading the global adoption of XR solutions in B2B sectors. The region seems generally more accepting of XR technologies, or at least of more widespread fashions, than other countries.
For example, in 2022, South Korea’s Ministry of ICT, Science, and Future Planning pledged roughly $186.7 million (223.7 billion Korean Won) to deploy a national, enterprise-grade Metaverse ecosystem.
Seoul’s funding will promote the development of a Metaverse platform, support its content creators, and facilitate research into new immersive technologies for digital corporate growth.
The Ministry’s roadmap envisions creating a “sustainable” Metaverse through public-private partnerships (PPPs). This initiative will focus on enterprise-grade collaboration, technology development, and innovation to help domestic companies compete with global businesses.
This initiative by the South Korean Ministry is part of a broader ‘Digital Deal’ aimed at supporting the growth of immersive technologies.
In the same year, Samsung Electronics announced its plans to establish dedicated 5G networks across the region for five public and private government agencies, utilizing the 4.7GHz and 28GHz frequency bands.
At the time, Yong Chang, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for the Networks Business at Samsung Electronics, said these 5G networks will “bring to life” various immersive technologies in the region.
The 5G network supports the widespread use of digital twins, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality hardware. Interestingly, Samsung’s commitment to supporting nationwide AI/AR solutions came years before the current drip of Moohan, the firm’s XR headset; perhaps the 2022 move was an early foundation for its headset rollout.
With XR’s regional support, Korea could become an industry heavyweight in XR over the years.
