Samsung Electronics announced on the 11th that it will operate the 'Notre-Dame de Paris: Augmented Exhibition' at the National Palace Museum of Korea located in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

The exhibition was created in collaboration with Histovery, a French company specializing in augmented reality (AR) content production and exhibitions, and will run from August 2 to September 1. Admission is free.

Samsung Electronics' tablet, the Galaxy Tab Active5, is provided for the exhibition. The tablet features 3D videos of 21 historical moments, from the groundbreaking of Notre-Dame Cathedral in 1163 to the ongoing restoration project. The videos combine augmented reality and scenography.

'Notre-Dame de Paris: Augmented Exhibition' has been held in major cities worldwide, including Dubai, United Arab Emirates in October 2021, Paris, France, Washington, USA, and London, UK, with a cumulative audience of approximately 500,000. Two types of tablets, the Galaxy Tab Active5 and Galaxy Tab Active3, were supplied for all exhibitions, including the one in Korea.

The Galaxy Tab Active5 used in the domestic exhibition features durability that meets IP68 water and dust resistance and the U.S. Department of Defense military standard (MIL-STD-810H). It supports a variable refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, and its replaceable battery allows up to 16 hours of video playback and supports fast charging.

Fr?d?ric Foucher, head of B2B at Samsung Electronics France, said, "We are very pleased that Samsung Electronics' innovative mobile technology is part of this historic project," adding, "Through the immersive viewing experience of the Galaxy Tab, the history of Notre-Dame Cathedral will be more widely known around the world."

Meanwhile, the exhibition was planned with the support of the Notre-Dame Cathedral Reconstruction Committee and L'Or?al. The global exhibition is scheduled to continue until the reopening event of Notre-Dame Cathedral on December 8.
