Sejong University launches Asia’s largest university-run AI virtual media studio
Sejong University has opened Team Studios Sejong, the largest artificial intelligence (AI) virtual media studio at a university in Asia, the school said Tuesday. The studio, equipped with state-of-the-art devices and facilities, was created by renovating a 990 square meter theater in the university’s Gwanggaeto Building. The studio opening was the result of an industry-academia cooperation agreement the university signed with SK Telecom, the largest mobile carrier in Korea, in November 2023. Since then, the school has carried out a range of joint research and collaborative projects with the company in the field of virtual media. During the process, SK Telecom donated large-scale LED walls and other advanced equipment previously used at its virtual studio in Pangyo, just south of Seoul, to the university. A school official said the donation was intended to support media research and industry collaboration by professors and students in the university’s comics and animation technology program, paving the way for the establishment of the studio.
