Turning Ultra-reality Broadcasting and Media into Reality Led by Broadcasting and Media Research Laboratory!
Special
Development of Ultra-reality Media Technology Expanding Both Physical and Cyber SpaceBroadcasting media is often characterized by universality. A simple receiver like a TV allows anyone to enjoy various information and leisure. In this regard, one might say that broadcasting media is one of the closest or most related fields to ICT. Under the notion that advances in broadcasting media technology are essential to actualizing ICT technologies capable of improving the quality of life for the general public, ETRI has been focusing its attention on developing various broadcasting media technologies.

Idea Becoming Reality through IoT
“More amiable and more human!”AI objects, featured in 「A World Too Good for Me」, a short novel by Bernard Werber, are designed and built on this philosophy. These objects do cleaning and laundry and prepare meals while never stopping talking. Such imaginations are no longer new to us. Numerous films and novels have already featured objects becoming more and more like humans and have made reasonable predictions that such objects will fundamentally change the way we live. The prediction is becoming reality. The IoT Korea Exhibition & International Conference 2018 was held this year as well, and a vision of the future of the IoT, which has already become part of our lives, unfolded.

Rising to the Top of Cloud Service Field with OpenStack
The global IT industry is now undergoing fundamental changes. With the widespread use of the Internet and smartphones, there is soaring demand for cloud computing technology capable of storing and managing various and diversified data. Based on the rapidly accumulating amount of data, AI and deep learning fields are advancing at a rapid pace while serving as a huge magnet attracting IT capital and human resources. Cloud giants, including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, already started introducing GPU-based cloud services to the domestic market in late 2016. Seung-Wook Jang, current CEO of DevStack, knocked on the door of ETRI in 2015 to discuss his idea of starting a research institute company in the field. His vision was to grow the company into a successful domestic company equipped with a competitive edge—in a domestic IT market that was already largely dominated by foreign companies.
