Culture Lens AI

Culture Lens AI is an AI cultural guide that instantly connects you to official public cultural data simply by scanning performance posters, exhibition guides, museum labels, and tourist information boards with your camera.

You do not need to manually enter search terms. Simply point your camera at a poster, signboard, or exhibition label right in front of you, and the app will recognize the text and match it with official data from government and public institutions—such as the Culture Public Data Plaza, KOPIS (Korea Open Information System for Performing Arts), Korea Tourism Organization tourism information, and e-Museum—to display schedules, locations, and related performance and exhibition information all at once.
