During the Fourth Plenum of the Seventh Party Central Committee meeting in 2019, Kim Jong Un ordered North Korean institutions to begin using new technologies as part of their learning curriculums, including artificial intelligence, digital chalkboards, and computers. Apparently, this initiative also includes immersive technology.
According to a report by Choson Sinbo (The People’s Korea), a pro-North Korean newspaper based in Japan, a “model” elementary school located in the capital city of Pyongyang has employed new communication technologies as part of its learning curriculum. This includes VR headsets and several interactive AR experiences.
