South Korean XR company HyperCloud is unveiling an exhibition that lets visitors experience Seoul’s history in a physical space through AR glasses. HyperCloud said on Tuesday it will run an AR glasses-based XR exhibition at the Seoul Museum of History as part of Qualcomm Inc's "Qualcomm For Good" program.

The exhibition uses the "MetaLens 2" AR glasses made by PNC Solution. The device is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 Platform. Visitors wear the glasses while moving through the museum, experiencing hands-free content that runs automatically based on their location.

Titled "Time Travel in Seoul," the exhibition presents Seoul’s changes in a single narrative, from the Joseon Dynasty through the Japanese colonial period and into modern times. The experiences include "Hanyangdoseong," a 3D recreation of the city’s defensive system, "Donuimun," which lets visitors pass through a vanished city gate, "Gyeongseong Tram," which offers a look inside a streetcar, a rickshaw and "Hoop Boy," recreating the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The exhibition runs for a limited period at the Seoul Museum of History from early July to late October 2026.

Park Kyung-kyu (박경규), HyperCloud’s chief executive, said the experience is an attempt to reinterpret cultural heritage from something to "see" into a story to "experience" directly. He said he hopes that, by adding content technology to the Snapdragon XR2 platform, Seoul’s history will feel closer even to those who have not had sufficient opportunities to enjoy culture and technology. He added that as technology advances, taking care together of the stories and places that must be preserved remains an unchanging task.

Kim Sang-pyo (김상표), president of Qualcomm Korea, said the Snapdragon platform enables personal AI across a broad range of devices and form factors from wearables to XR and supports efficient on-device AI intelligence. He said the AR glasses-based XR exhibition at the Seoul Museum of History is an example that shows the immersive, intelligent experience created by innovative technology on the Snapdragon XR platform.
