On February 7, the University of Foreign Studies held an award ceremony for the "1st Korean Philosophy and Culture Digital Convergence Talent Contest". The contest is designed to inspire undergraduates with interest in Korean philosophy and digital humanities and to enhance their capabilities in digital methodology. Despite the theme of Korean philosophy and the difficult demand of using digital methodology, the students managed it in their own ways. The Grand Prize-winning "Making My Own 3D Drawing" team (Park Jae-yi, Choi Kwon-hee, and Han Young-heon) produced learning contents that can implement their own drawings with simple commands using Python (computer language). This content induces users to naturally access the implications of Korean philosophy through drawing. (If you go to https://cafe.naver.com/skkudigitalcontents, you can meet the illustrations implemented by students.) The team (Yoon Young-chae, Lee Ga-eun, and Seo Yuri), which won the grand prize, developed VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) based on Donuimun Japanese colonial eraines, which were damaged during the Japanese colonial period. This content combines location-based services (LBS) with events and places that represent resistance to Japanese colonial era "unjustice" to interpret the restoration of Donuimun as a journey to find "righteousness." (You can see content created by students by adding KakaoTalk channels by accessing https://pf.kakao.com/_TiEfxj.) Choi Jung-in received the Special Achievement Award for "Our People from the Department of Oriental Studies." Based on the survey, the above content identifies the status of double majors and club activities of students and graduates of the Department of Oriental Studies, and then visualizes them to track significant trends. The organizers thanked all participants for interpreting various topics that were not easy in their own ways, and awarded prizes to the winners to encourage follow-up research.
