November 12- at At the site of the G20 summit, there is a group of people in sunglasses standing in front of a large TV.
On the 72 inch large screen TV installed for the world leaders attending G20, there were movies playing that were displayed at over 50% higher resolution. Mr. Lee Jae-woo, an office worker who watched a Gaya-Geum recital on the 3D TV said "It was as if I was in a concert hall, the vivid and clear image is impressive."
As Korea is hosting the G20 summit, a large variety of high technology products are being released that will show the world the strength of 'science Korea'. These representatives of Korean technology are being broadcast to the world through press members, government officials, tourists and of course the world leaders attending G20.
The 3D TV technology that has showed itself in the COEX lobby goes beyond simply raising the resolution, but also offers a solution for the traditional 2D TV users for the first time in the world.
This technology utilizes the computer media encoding method researched by the team led by professor Heo Nam-ho at ETRI, and allows visualization of 3D waves on a 2D TV. Visualizing 3D waves on a 2D TV will solve the screen partition problem.
KIST is brightening up the location of the G20 summit, COEX, using a wireless Solar LED Streetlights. During the day the solar panels store energy from the sun, and lights up the streets during the night without being connected to the grid. Also there is a wireless remote control that allows checkups of the solar LEDs, and improved security by installing security cameras.

▲ There are a plethora of innovative domestic technological achievement being showcased at COEX during the G20 summit. The above picture shows the 72 inch 3D TV researched by ETRI, and its operation. The 72 inch 3D TV improved 3D tvs by 50%. The picture below is the Solar LED researched by KIST. The Solar LED stores sunlight during the day to convert it to energy and brighten up the streets at night.
KAIST showcased their independently made electric car to solve the energy crisis. The electric car has a shortcoming that comes in the way of a short driving distance due to the Lithium-Ion battery. KAIST solved this problem by researching a car that runs on power that can be accessed on the road and providing the power. Seo Nam-pyo, dean of KAIST stated that "once the electric car is widespread, Korea will be able to increase in brand power."
Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety installed the 'Radioactive Gates' which can detect vehicles that has a dangerous radioactive material on them all around COEX, raising interest amongst the G20 participant officials. The amount of radiation 'Radioaction Gate' can detect is about 30μCi which is around 1/10 of the radiation used by the doctors. "Radioactive Gate' will help run a smooth G20 summit with ought any danger from terror attacks
Vice Chariman of the Board of Education Science and Technology Kim Chang-kyung said, "Korea have been following the other developed nations and their technologies, but now Korea is producing products that will lead the world of IT in the future."
