<Emotionwave / >CEO Rio Jang

How many videos are viewed through YouTube in a day? According to the Park Mun-gak General Knowledge Dictionary, YouTube records 100 million video views every day. YouTube is evaluated as having opened a new field of internet culture. An environment and culture have been created where anyone can upload videos using computers or mobile devices. The fact that anyone can upload videos to YouTube means that anyone can become a content creator. Furthermore, we met with CEO Rio Jang of Emotionwave, who is striving to create a new content creation environment through the combination of culture and technology, to hear his story. .

 

Q. Could you introduce Emotionwave? .

- Emotionwave is2013a corporation established in . We have continuously conducted research on integrating culture and technology,, and have been dedicated to developing both technology and content.. In particular, we are focusing on the development of technology and content for the broadcasting and performance fields.. To date, government agencies, and various institutions such as universities have collaborated to jointly develop performance technologies/and music content..
<br>Emotionwave has been attempting to combine new culture and technology based on the combination of music and technology.. Based on these operational achievements, we are planning a new concept online performance service..

What is a web mixed reality performance support system?

- <Web3D Mixed Reality Performance Support System>is the world's only online mixed reality performance system., 3Da virtual stage created with, the actors' performances, is made with a real-time transmission system.. When an artist performs,3D the artist's performance is synthesized in the online virtual concert hall and transmitted to the audience in real time..
3D The online virtual concert hall is expected to be a new paradigm for performance services and, a new platform, as anyone can become an artist and perform there..

After listening to the explanation of the mixed reality performance support system, YouTube and Africa TV came to mind. Where do you see the difference between it and YouTube or Africa TV?

- From a distance, YouTube or AfreecaTVmay appear as a similar media channel. However, if you look closely, YouTube and AfreecaTVTVhave different characteristics. YouTube is a platform where users upload already completed video content., It is not a way for the viewer to change the content of the video.. In AfreecaTVthe caseVJis different in that it co-creates the video content by communicating directly with the viewers in real time..
<Web3D Mixed Reality Performance Support System>The difference is that it allows users to cultivate the media environment more proactively by independently planning and designing their own stage.. Existing media channels2Dare based on<Web3D Mixed Reality Performance Support System>is3Dbecause it is a platform based on.The current2DIf the environment transitions to an3Dwe will be able to deliver more vivid and abundant content than before, and, users will also be able to take more diverse options.. Changes in the media environment, That is,, we can expect that technological development will lead to cultural development..

You also represent Emotionwave Arts. Could you please introduce Emotionwave Arts as well?

- 2013Since establishing Emotionwave Co., Ltd. in year, we have conducted research on various related technologies.. While conducting research, I felt that technology and content are inseparable from each other.. It is difficult to perfectly express content with only technological research,, and it is also difficult to perfectly implement technology with only content research.. So, I thought that the process of creating content internally in addition to technology was necessary, and thus established Emotionwave Arts..
Q. It is an era where the speed of technological development is very fast.. As a CEO who is working on integrating technologies from various fields, are you not burdened by the speed of technological development??
- For example.? KTXThe person riding on itKTXit is difficult to know how fast it is.. Of course,KTXyou know that it is fast, but it can be hard to feel just how much.. However,KTXfrom the perspective of someone watching it from the outside,KTXthey might feel more directly how fast its speed is..Right before your eyesKTXyou can witness it disappearing in an instant.. KTXI think the technology sector is similar, like the example of. If you dive into the technology field and get immersed in its center, I feel like you gradually become accustomed to the speed of technological development.. When conducting research, I couldn't feel how fast the technology was developing,, but looking back later, there are points where I am surprised at how rapidly the technology has developed..

You have worked on integrating various genres and fields, including the mixed reality performance support system. Did you face any difficulties in doing this convergence work?

- Many people ask if convergence work is not difficult.. To questions like this,‘convergence work is difficult’with the premise that. In my case,, I didn't set a standard based on whether it was difficult or not when I entered this field.. It's because I thought that such a service is needed in our society,, and that we could positively change our society through this service, so it's work that started from there..
Instead of the question of whether fusing various fields is difficult, we try, How about thinking from the perspective of whether to try it or not?

Question. For plays and musicals, I think it will not be easy to secure content before integrating technology with content. Were there any difficulties in establishing content partnerships?

- I have experience working as a musical composer.. While working in the musical industry, I started thinking about ways for more people to be able to watch musicals or plays.. To see a musical or play, you have to buy tickets and also secure travel time to the venue,, and viewing time, right?. Physical distance, I wondered how we could bring people who have difficulty accessing performance culture due to constraints like high ticket prices and physical distance into becoming audience members for performance culture.. At that moment, the thought of what it would be like if musicals could be watched online came to mind.. In a way, this is what we are currently researching,<web3D Mixed Reality Performance Support System>It could also be said that this is the moment when concerns about it began..
Q. What kind of ideal convergence talent do you think??
-Until now,'There is a saying to 'stick to one field,' and while securing expertise in one area was important in the past, 'if it was an era where it was important to secure expertise in one field,, I think that communication skills are needed in addition to expertise in one's own field.. The era where success came from sticking to one thing is fading, and I think this is a time when talent prepared to communicate with an open mind about other fields is needed.. Those who possess the capability to specialize in core technologies within their own field,, I believe that ideal talent is someone who has an open mind and attitude to accept core technologies and cultures from other fields..

Q. When will consumers be able to experience the Web 3D mixed-reality performance support system?

- As early as this year,, We plan to open the service and communicate with consumers by next summer at the latest.. The form of service provision will likely be a web service.. Unlike existing internet broadcasting, we are working hard to create a new market..Through business alliances, established content,, We plan to secure overseas content and supply it to consumers.. We would like to ask for your interest as we plan to open a beta service..
