KoreaLens is an AI-powered visual travel assistant designed to help international visitors navigate everyday life in South Korea. Travelers often struggle to understand Korean restaurant menus, convenience store products, and public signs because of language barriers and unfamiliar visual information.
Instead of translating an entire image, KoreaLens lets users take a picture or upload a photo, identify individual objects through interactive visual segmentation, and select the specific item they want to understand. The app then provides a contextual explanation in their preferred language, helping them discover unfamiliar foods, understand products, and communicate more confidently with locals.
Our goal is to make exploring Korea more accessible and intuitive by turning the real world into an interactive, multilingual experience.
